Building

dreams together.

It all begins with an idea.

An idea to make money conversations easier, more human, and more inclusive for children and families. What started as a shared belief turned into a story, a character, and a mission to help kids see their dreams as possible and their voices as powerful. This book is the result of collaboration, culture, creativity, and a deep commitment to building something meaningful together.
