The new book from the author of The Barefoot Investor, the #1 all-time Australian bestseller

Barefoot Kids by Scott Pape is a transformative financial guide designed specifically for children, providing them with the essential skills they need to handle money wisely. Through engaging storytelling, hands-on activities, and real-life stickers, Scott takes young readers on an extraordinary money-saving adventure they won't forget. It's a unique blend of financial education and entertaining narrative, making it the ultimate resource for developing smart, resilient, and financially savvy kids.

If you want the kids in your life to be good with money, hand them this book. Scott Pape, known worldwide as the Barefoot Investor, brings his expertise to a younger audience with a guide that young readers will not only find accessible but also immensely enjoyable. Teaching kids about money isn't easy, so let Scott do it for you!

His books have sold millions of copies and counting, and now he's crafted a guidebook tailored just for kids. This isn't just any finance book—kids will actually want to read it. Scott takes them on an epic, page-turning money adventure, complete with fun projects, inspiring stories from 45 kids, rewards, and real-life stickers.

It’s easily the most unique finance book ever written. After all, how many books about money feature Slime Queens, TikTok stars, and dogs pooping on the page? Kids will roll up their sleeves, get their hands dirty, and learn the value of a buck the old-fashioned way.

Over six action-packed steps, Scott teaches kids:

  • Why they should help out around the house for free
  • How to set up their own money buckets
  • How to save for (and get) anything they want (that their parents approve of)
  • How to turbocharge their savings by running their own mini business
  • Why they should use their give bucket to make a real difference to other people (kindness counts!)
  • How to kick-start a lifetime of compound interest by investing with as little as $5

As the parent, you'll call all the shots, of course—but you won't have to lift a finger. The kids will do all the work, and they'll love it! You'll be amazed by what they achieve.

This book holds the secret to raising smart, resilient, kind, and hard-working kids who will grow up knowing how to manage their money. Give this book to every kid you know. It's the best investment you can make in their future.
