Where is My Happiness?
π° Sometimes happiness feels far away. Dillon knows exactly how that feels.

When Dillon wakes up one day and can't find his happiness anywhere in Maplewood, he sets out on a journey to find it. Along the way he discovers something that changes everything β happiness isn't always a place you find. Sometimes it's something you build, one small moment at a time. And on the hardest days, having the right tools and the right people around you makes all the difference.

π° A Note From the Author
I started this series because I believe the conversations we have with children early shape everything that comes after. Financial literacy is one of the topics I wish someone had introduced to me as a child β not as a lesson, but as a story. A character I loved, in a world that felt safe, showing me that money is something I can understand and manage and use for good. That is exactly what Dillon's 5 gold coins are for. I hope this guide helps you start that conversation with the child you love. π
