CHICAGO - s4story -- Expedition Money, a family-focused financial wellness program, today announced the release of Woodland Cents, a 53-book children's picture-book series designed to teach kids ages 3–7 the foundations of a healthy financial life through stories they beg to re-read. Published under the company's Expedition Money Press imprint and anchored by a lovable squirrel named Tomanji, the series is now available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions.

Woodland Cents responds to one of the most common requests Expedition Money hears from parents: help me teach my children good money habits — without boring them. Most children's money books, the company notes, lean on a handful of overt lessons — coins, dollars, saving up — delivered so literally that the ideas sail over a young child's head. Woodland Cents takes the opposite approach: each book is a genuine, entertaining story first, with the lesson woven in so gently that children absorb it without ever feeling taught.

Just as importantly, the series goes far beyond simple money rules. Across its 53 titles, Woodland Cents dramatizes the habits, mindset, values, and behaviors that actually lead to good financial outcomes — patience and compounding, generosity and community, entrepreneurship, resilience, protecting what you have, repairing instead of replacing, the courage to ask for help, contentment over comparison, and the understanding that money is a tool and experiences and loved ones are the real treasure.

"Money should be fun, and it should be a family affair," said Peter Waitzman, founder of Expedition Money and author of the Woodland Cents series. "We built these books because being good with money is mostly not about money — it's about the habits and character you form early. Our mission was simple: write stories kids actually ask for again, and let the values come along for the ride. My own son grabs these off the shelf — not because they teach a lesson, but because Tomanji's adventures are fun."

Each title also includes a "Note for Grown-Ups" and discussion questions, turning a bedtime story into a conversation — a feature that has made the series a natural fit for classrooms, homeschools, libraries, and youth programs.

"Parents, teachers, and financial educators keep telling us the same thing," Waitzman added. "They want their kids to inherit good habits instead of their own money stress — and they want to start early, while it's still easy. That's exactly what this series is for."
