Mia and Max are two ordinary kids who love playing, asking questions, and wondering where their pocket money goes. Everything changes when Tutu—a cheerful, talking piggy bank—appears in their world and invites them into a place where money feels simple, friendly, and fun to understand.
What starts as a small mystery turns into a series of easy, meaningful adventures. The siblings visit lively markets, meet funny little money troublemakers, run a lemonade stand, and step into a shop where every choice comes with a lesson. Nothing feels like a classroom, yet each moment quietly teaches them something real about money.
With Tutu’s gentle guidance, Mia and Max learn to save a little, pause before spending, and share when it matters. They discover that responsibility isn’t about big rules—it’s about small habits and clearer choices. By the time they face Spendy, Forgetty, and Rushy, they’ve grown more confident about what to do with their coins.
The book also includes 10+ simple, kid-friendly worksheets that help children practice the ideas from the story. They’re fun, easy to use, and perfect for parents who want to start money conversations at home without making it heavy.
Mia & Max and the Magic Money Adventure is a warm, engaging story that turns everyday moments into lifelong money skills. It’s a gentle guide for kids—and families—who want to build good habits together.

Smita Patel
Smita Patel is a seasoned finance professional, writer, and storyteller with over sixteen years of experience in financial research, market analysis, and investor education. With an MS in Finance and a career spent decoding global markets, she has built a reputation for turning complicated financial concepts into simple, practical insights that readers of all ages can understand.
Across her writing on Substack, Medium, and LinkedIn, Smita is known for her clear, thoughtful voice and her ability to explain money matters in a way that feels human, relatable, and grounded in real life. Her work spans stock market fundamentals, economic trends, financial behaviours, and long-term wealth thinking—topics she breaks down with equal parts expertise and empathy.
But Smita’s journey into children’s financial education began at home. As a mother of a curious ten-year-old, she realised that money habits form much earlier than most adults imagine. Children observe, imitate, and experiment long before they begin formal schooling. Inspired by her son’s endless “why” questions and her own belief that confidence around money should start early, she began crafting stories that teach powerful concepts through playfulness and imagination.
Mia & Max and the Magic Money Adventure is the result of that mission. Through memorable characters, magical settings, and joyful lessons, Smita introduces young readers to essential ideas like saving, spending, sharing, earning, price comparison, and patience—skills that build responsibility, independence, and lifelong confidence.
She believes that financial literacy is not a subject; it is a life skill. And when taught gently and creatively, it can empower children long before they make their first adult financial decision.
When she is not writing, Smita can be found reading global economic reports, researching market shifts, or exploring new stories and ideas with her son—her favourite adventure partner and inspiration behind every page.
Through her work, she hopes to help parents and children learn, grow, and discover that money is not something to fear… but something to understand.
