A Peek Inside the Book
Maya's adventure is real, funny, and full of heart.
"Maya reached into her pocket. She found one quarter, two pennies, and a lint ball."
— That's not twenty dollars, she sighed. 😔
"She raked until her arms ached. She walked Churro through three puddles. She sorted a LOT of buttons."
— But at the end of the week — $6.00!
"She labeled her jar: 'MAYA'S TELESCOPE FUND. DO NOT OPEN (ESPECIALLY YOU, BISCUIT.)'"
— Teaching goal-based saving with humor.
"It felt like dropping sunshine."
— After giving $2 to the community garden — Maya felt like a millionaire.
