Mansa's little Reminders

by Taylor Bou (Illustrator), A.D. Williams, Kendal Fordham

Overview

Mansa's little Reminders introduces kids to the concepts of earning and managing money. Although the message of this book is universal, it was written to help African American children understand the value and benefits of building wealth from an early age. It highlights the life of an inner-city kid with big dreams but no direction and a strong and loving family with few resources.

Mansa's little Reminders introduces the fundamental strategies that can help bridge the financial literacy gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" in a way that is fun, relatable, and needed. It's the first of many fun-filled adventures of a young and curious boy named Mark and his wise furry companion, Mansa.

Join Mark and Mansa on this fun adventure of learning and self-discovery that will change the course of Mark's life.

Mansa's little Reminders can help your kids:
• Learn the value of money
• Become motivated to earn and save money at an early age
• Identify poor spending behavior
• Create dialogue around entrepreneurship and starting a business

About the Author

A.D. Williams learned early on how powerful representation is in books. Ensuring that kids can see and feel success through the lens of characters that look and face many of the same challenges they do. When I was growing up no one talked about investing, wealth, business plans or how to acquire real wealth,” said A.D. His underlying motivation is that this book will ignite discussions around finances in households across the world and be a seed that blossoms until wealth equity for our children. In addition to his writing, A.D. is a children hospital administrator, private investor, and entrepreneur.

Kendal Fordham grew up in a home brimming with financial literacy. Her father tried eagerly to engage all his children in economics, financial planning, and investing as children. Out of the three children, Kendal found it fascinating. Straight out of college, Kendal studied hard and became a fully licensed Financial Professional. A year later as a Dave Ramsey endorsed financial professional, she started her own business as a financial and investment advisor. It didn’t take long for her to realize the value in her skillset, but after becoming a mother, Kendal saw how crucial it was to plant the seed of this knowledge into our youth. Kendal is the mother to 2 young children, a landlord, a multi business owner, a mentor, and now, an author.
