New York Times Bestseller

"We all want to raise children with good values--children who are the opposite of spoiled--yet we often neglect to talk to our children about money. . . . From handling the tooth fairy, to tips on allowance, chores, charity, checking accounts, and part-time jobs, this engaging and important book is a must-read for parents." -- Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project

In the spirit of Wendy Mogel's The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman's Nurture Shock, New York Times "Your Money" columnist Ron Lieber delivers a taboo-shattering manifesto that explains how talking openly to children about money can help parents raise modest, patient, grounded young adults who are financially wise beyond their years.

For Ron Lieber, a personal finance columnist and father, good parenting means talking about money with our kids. Children are hyper-aware of money, and they have scores of questions about its nuances. But when parents shy away from the topic, they lose a tremendous opportunity--not just to model the basic financial behaviors that are increasingly important for young adults but also to imprint lessons about what the family truly values.

Written in a warm, accessible voice, grounded in real-world experience and stories from families with a range of incomes, The Opposite of Spoiled is both a practical guidebook and a values-based philosophy. The foundation of the book is a detailed blueprint for the best ways to handle the basics: the tooth fairy, allowance, chores, charity, saving, birthdays, holidays, cell phones, checking accounts, clothing, cars, part-time jobs, and college tuition. It identifies a set of traits and virtues that embody the opposite of spoiled, and shares how to embrace the topic of money to help parents raise kids who are more generous and less materialistic.

But The Opposite of Spoiled is also a promise to our kids that we will make them better with money than we are. It is for all of the parents who know that honest conversations about money with their curious children can help them become more patient and prudent, but who don't know how and when to start.

With delicious recipes and laugh-out-loud stories, Priya's Kitchen Adventures will get kids cooking and expand their curiosity about the world.

Climbing the Great Wall of China, camping in the Amazon jungle, sliding down the dunes of the Sahara Desert--oh, and did she mention slurping ramen in Japan, sipping aguas frescas in Mexico, and enjoying British high tea? Before Priya Krishna was a celebrated food writer, she was a kid traveler. Thanks to her appetite for exploration (and a mom who worked in air travel), by the time she was a teenager she had done all this and more. Traveling unlocked Priya's sense of discovery and inspired her to get cooking.

In this bright and kid-friendly cookbook, kids can travel the world with Priya--no passport required, just an open mind and a kitchen. Through her eyes, kids and their parents can see--and taste!--China, Greece, Peru, Mexico, Morocco, England, Italy, Japan, France, Egypt, Trinidad and Tobago, and India. The whole family will love making and tasting each kid-tested recipe--brought to life with vivid photos and colorful illustrations plus step-by-step how-to photos--and sharing Priya's dynamic and often hilarious tales of adventure. They'll come to discover what Priya was lucky to learn as a kid: that cooking is one of our greatest superpowers, allowing us to travel in our own kitchens and learn about incredible places and cultures--without the jet lag.

Recipes include:

Pork and Chive DumplingsSpanakopitaTostadas with Refried Beans and SquashMiso RamenPesto PastaChocolate MousseArtichokes with ButterHummus Bi TehinaVegetable TagineCrepes
