Helping kids see money as a tool — not a mystery.

Dave Alexandre is a children's book author, educator, and lifelong believer that the earlier a kid understands money, the more freedom they have for the rest of their life.

After watching too many bright kids reach adulthood without the basics — saving, planning, the difference between needs and wants — he started writing the books he wished his younger self had read. Stories with heroes, villains, and real lessons hidden inside the adventure.

His debut, The Tales of Endless Rewards, follows two unlikely heroes — a dollar bill and a piggy bank — as they teach a community the joy of working for what you love. The upcoming Villains of Finance series puts a face on the bad habits that quietly drain a family's future.

When he isn't writing, Dave runs workshops for parents and classrooms that turn money concepts into games kids actually want to play.
