In the heart of Penny's town stands The Wish Tree, a silver-barked tree that blooms when a heart's wish is ready to grow. Penny waits for her own wish to appear but soon learns that real magic doesn't come from waiting for something to happen. It comes from what you do.
Through kindness, curiosity, and effort, Penny discovers that every good choice plants a seed that can grow into something bigger. When she begins writing her own ideas, she learns the secret of true abundance: giving, saving, and creating value for others.
Beautifully written and illustrated, Penny and the Blooming Wish introduces financial literacy in a gentle, story-driven way that children can truly understand. It helps kids see money not as something to chase, but as something to grow through patience, generosity, and smart choices.
Perfect for ages 5-9, this heartwarming story opens important conversations about earning, saving, sharing, and responsibility. It's ideal for parents and teachers who want to raise thoughtful, capable, money-smart kids.
