Setting goals is an important skill to teach our children.

The adventures of Pearl the Mermaid and Seacil the Sea Lion each tell a different story about their underwater friends who set goals and achieve success.

In the first adventure, Pearl and Seacil explore the financial theme of saving and planning for the future. The six additional adventures feature important character traits and reinforce the key messages of setting goals and making plans. We hope your children enjoy these stories and learn important life skills along the way.
