One Proud Penny by Randy Siegel

3.0

Nominated for the 2019 Washington state children's choice picture book award. This book is loaded with facts about pennies and Philadelphia. You might look up the U.S. mint with the students so that they can see where coins are made. Popular Mechanics for kids season 1 episode 20 is about money and 23 minutes long. I rely on showing videos when I have laryngitis and the kids love getting a break from the routine. But better than that, the U.S. mint has a website that older kids can navigate and read or watch videos to learn about how coins are made and circulated. https://www.usmint.gov/learn/history/coin-production

One Proud Penny is a great introduction to U.S. currency and you could give each student at your school a penny and not break the bank.
