The $100 Bill

By Erika Wilburn

For Amazon, the book description has one job:

Make a parent, grandparent, or teacher think, "This is exactly the kind of book I want my child to read."

I would avoid leading with financial literacy. Lead with the story. Let the lessons be the surprise.

Growing Strong: Book One
The $100 Bill

What would you do with a $100 bill?

Spend it?

Save it?

Or discover it could become something much bigger?

When seven kids are challenged to look beyond the money, they spend an unforgettable summer in Grandpa Ted's workshop building birdhouses, solving problems, starting a small business, and learning lessons that no classroom could ever teach.

Along the way, they discover that mistakes can become opportunities, hard work is more rewarding when it's shared, and the strongest friendships are built one project at a time.

Filled with humor, heart, memorable characters, and timeless life lessons, The $100 Bill is the first adventure in the Growing Strong series-a collection of stories that helps young readers grow in confidence, character, and financial wisdom without ever feeling like a lesson.

Perfect for readers ages 8-12, families, classrooms, and anyone who believes the best learning happens through great stories.

Because the strongest things in life aren't bought...

They're built.
