Singer CHAKA KAHN, "PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS" AUTHOR CHRIS GARDNER & LORI MACKEY teach kids about Prosperity!

The Chaka Kahn foundation mentors middle school students and their parents from School District 7 (Watts/Compton) area in Los Angeles to assist them in raising their achievement levels in school and help them go on to college by providing scholarships and ongoing workshops throughout the school year, was teaming with Bear Sterns Investment Group and "Pursuit of Happyness" author Chris Gardner to present an inspiration talk on  prosperity for kids.

Tracey Gluck , the Senior Manager at Bear Sterns, had this to say, "After looking through many list of books related to investing & children, I came upon Money Mama & The Three Little Pigs. I had to look no further in my search: a book that was not only fun for kids, with wonderful illustrations, but it taught the areas that I think are so important for kids to learn at an early age: giving, saving & investing. All three are equally important and so few books for children stress all three. I HIGHLY recommend this book!"

What impressed you most about the book?
The whole concept is wonderful! The author has taken a much - needed lesson about money and put it into an easy-to-read story for children. It's genius! The author uses kid-friendly language and makes the book easy to understand while teaching life-changing concepts. I wish I'd had this book when my children were first born. Also, creating a piggybank and other products to go along with her book, is a very smart move. I see much success in this little book's future. From start to finish, the book is well done. I love the little piece if money that is on most every page. He is so cute!
