Broke Benny

Financial Literacy for Kids (Ages 4–8)



A heart-filled story about emergency funds, preparation, and peace of mind

By Tiffany Thomas

You may be saving for your child but does your child know how to save for themselves?

Life doesn’t send warnings before things go wrong.

That’s why learning to prepare early matters.

Broke Benny teaches children one of the most important money lessons of all:

saving for emergencies before they happen.

What this story is about

Meet Benny a hardworking bunny with a big heart and an even bigger love for cookies.

Benny earns his carrot coins, spends freely, and enjoys every treat…

until one unexpected moment changes everything.

A sudden accident leaves Benny hurt, unable to work, and out of snacks because his coin jar is empty.

With help from the wise Mrs. Fluffy, Benny learns a powerful truth:

when you prepare ahead of time, you protect yourself and others.

No fear.

No shame.

Just a lesson wrapped in warmth and story.
