紐約時報暢銷書作家暨世界知名理財專家蘇西·歐曼（Suze Orman）以一張名為比利的一美元紙鈔和一枚名為潘妮的便士硬幣為主角，首度推出兒童繪本。
當比利和潘妮發現他們所居住的家庭忽略了他們的真正價值時，他們決定藉由消失來讓自己發揮影響力。當披薩外送員抵達時，媽媽請兩個孩子和他們的存錢筒幫忙支付晚餐費用。當比利和潘妮回來時，這個家庭對拯救了這一天的錢表達了感謝。歐曼與妻子兼插畫家凱西·崔維斯（Kathy Travis）攜手合作，創作出一個經典且適合闔家觀賞的故事，教導人們珍惜每一分錢，並讓每一分錢都發揮價值。
My 6-year-old actually asks to read this one at bedtime, which never happens with his other books. Making a dollar bill and a penny into characters named Billy and Penny is such a clever way to start a money conversation without it feeling like a lesson.
The way a one-dollar bill and a penny explain saving and spending actually clicked for my six-year-old, who now points at coins and asks which one is Penny. The illustrations are bright enough to hold his attention through the whole book, which is rare for him.
My daughter really got into Billy and Penny's adventure, and it's sparked some good questions about saving. I just wish the financial concepts were explained a bit simpler for her age.
