Lori Robinson sought out fifty of the world’s leading conservationists, men, and women who have devoted their lives to save some of the most endangered species and the most threatened areas on earth. To each, she posed the question: How do you stay inspired? This book is the result. Among the people Robinson interviewed are wildlife filmmakers Beverly and Dereck Joubert, elephant experts Daphne Sheldrick, Cynthia Moss, and Joyce Poole, and ocean warrior Paul Watson. She spoke with Kristine McDivitt Tompkins, former CEO of Patagonia, and with Laura Turner, daughter of one of America’s most prominent conservationists. In the foreword, Jane Goodall explains that she finds hope in the indomitable human spirit “embodied in the people who tackle seemingly impossible problems, and refuse to give up, and who so often succeed — like the inspirational people in this book.”

Families need to understand the importance of getting their debt under control in a way that will make them stand up, take notice, and take action. How much they spend is the only financial issue totally within their control. In a style that is reminiscent of Dr. Seuss but fortified with the common sense of Warren Buffet, The Cash in the Hat is a simple story that delivers a powerful message in an entertaining way: if you don t get your financial house in order, you're sunk. Based on feedback and requests from financial professionals for a tool that will help them get the word out about understanding the importance of financial discipline, Mitch Anthony and artist Greg Wimmer, have created a beautifully illustrated book to help families understand the importance of living within their means. If you or someone you know hasn t responded well to charts, checklists, graphs, or 350-page tomes about how to be a better investor, The Cash in the Hat is the perfect way to help drive home the message of fiscal responsibility. Mitch is committed to helping every investor in America understand the importance of taking control of their financial future without being berated, bulldozed, or bullied. The Cash in the Hat drives home the message of financial fitness in an entertaining way that both adults and their children can appreciate.

A follow-up to the enormously popular 'The Cash in the Hat', Mitch Anthony's newest book teaches investors and others about the importance of patience and paying attention.

Good financial habits take time, patience, and persistence but that doesn't mean learning about them needs to be boring. In the final volume of Mitch Anthony's The Financial Lit-Kit, readers will learn the importance of budgeting and sticking to a plan as they help Private 'Eye' Guy and his Lost Money Hound solve the mystery of what happened to Molly and Wally's money. Both children and parents will discover what transpires when they don't pay attention, and instead allow impulsive decisions and unscrupulous people to make decisions for them. Beautifully illustrated and fun to read, 'Where Did the Money Go?' will help all family members understand the importance of living within their means. The book can be read alone, or in conjunction with 'The Cash in the Hat' and 'The Bean is Not Green'. When it comes to learning about money, study after study has shown that not teaching kids about the importance of managing money responsibly can lead to bad money decisions later in life.
