Ten Glasses of Lemonade, an illustrated Earning Tales story
One story. A real decision. A conversation to share.

Start with a story

A money lesson a child can actually argue with.

Maya wants something. She agrees to work for it. The work becomes harder than the object first appeared to cost. She has to decide whether it is still worth it.

The goal is not to tell a child what something should be worth to them. It is to help them notice that earning connects what they want to the work required to get it.

Read together

A short illustrated story built around a real decision.

Ask, don't lecture

The parent guide gives you questions instead of a scripted moral.

Try it in real life

The follow-up resources connect the idea to small family money decisions.

A small place to begin

A story for your family.

No account to create. No child or household details needed.
