Dear kids, old souls, and bright angels,

I have a story to tell you. It’s a true story. I believe in magic in my life and in everyone’s lives. So I’ll get you started.

$ Pick a coin or a bill you may already have or ask your mom and dad to give you one for this special project. They may want to lend it to you … that’s okay, too.

$ Make your coin or bill special so it stands out next to the others. If you’ve picked a coin, you might paint half of it with your mom’s colored nail polish. If you’ve picked a bill, you might put a paper clip on it.

$ Does it look different from the rest? Great.

This coin or bill is different; it’s magical. Put it away in a very safe place.

$ Stick it in a clear jar with a lid, like a tomato sauce or peanut butter jar.

$ Label the jar LONG-TERM and put the lid on tightly.

$ Then kind of forget about it. Since it’s in a clear jar, you can see it when you walk by. You can admire it. You can talk to it, say “hi.” Leave it there; it’s busy being magical.

Now that your special coin or bill is safe and sound, let’s talk about money. The more you know about it, the easier it will be to find. Your specially decorated money wants a friend. How can you find the next coin or bill to keep this money company? And the next!

Read on: It’s magic.

P.S. At the end of each chapter there will be a “TO DO” activity for you. Each completed activity will put you one step closer to having your very own magic money. Do them all.
