Raising Financially Fit Kids
Joline Godfrey (KNFP-10)
This combination parenting and personal finance book helps parents teach their children key money skills--such as saving, spending, budgeting, investing, building credit, and donating--that they'll need to become financially secure adults. Parents want their children to enjoy bright economic futures. But how do we equip the next generation with lifelong financial skills? In this updated edition of Raising Financially Fit Kids, Joline Godfrey shares knowledge gleaned from two decades of preparing children and families for financial independence and stewardship, philanthropic effectiveness, and meaningful economic lives. At the heart of the book are three big ideas: • Financial education is not just about the money; it’s about building great families and raising self-confident kids who have the tools to realize their dreams. • Financial sustainability means living within one’s means and acquiring skills to create and manage human and financial capital. • Giving wisely is a global citizen’s responsibility. Designed for parents, grandparents, mentors, advisors, and educators, Raising Financially Fit Kids uses ten core money skills applied across five developmental life stages: children, tweens, middle schoolers, high schoolers, and twenty-somethings. Each stage includes age-appropriate activities that make financial fitness fun, from mall scavenger hunts to financial film festivals. In this global economic landscape, we all need financial fluency. Whether your child is five, fifteen, or twenty-five years old, it’s never too late to teach financial literacy. Raising Financially Fit Kids prepares your children for the complexities of living in a global economy and helps your family up your game from good to great.

Developing Destinies: A Mayan Midwife and Town
Barbara Rogoff (KNFP-04)
Developing Destinies is based on Barbara Rogoff's 37 years of child development research in the Guatemalan Mayan town of San Pedro la Laguna. One of the town's leading child development experts is Doña Chona Pérez, who was born with the destiny of being a midwife in the Mayan spiritual tradition. This award-winning book, written together with Doña Chona and two of her grandchildren, gives an account of how individual lives and community history are intertwined. It focuses on how family lives change and continue with traditional practices, across Chona's 85 years, and extending back to historical accounts of spiritual and birthing practices from pre-Hispanic times. Note: Proceeds are donated to the Taa' Pi't Learning Center (www.taapit.org) and other projects in San Pedro.

Nancy Boy, Inc. - artisanal body, bath & home products made exclusively from natural plant essences
Jack Richards (KNFP-14)
Nancy Boy sprouted to life in a San Francisco lavender garden. Its owners spent their days as executives in advertising and finance but always dreamed of starting their own gig. While toiling for the man, they learned how good companies prospered and bad ones self-destructed. Jack became a community banker, then grew wary as a casino mentality swept the industry. Eric worked at big agencies on international assignments including Levi's, L'Oreal, Clorox and Estee Lauder and discovered that high-end beauty brands spend 95% on marketing and pennies on the the actual product. Why, they wondered, had no one ever done the opposite? Why not spend all the marketing money on the products to make them more effective than even the most expensive brands? That was the risky, heretical idea that fueled Nancy Boy. The brand never advertised. What would otherwise be spent on marketing and fancy packaging was redeployed into hyper-premium product ingredients, including natural essential plant oils. Early users noticed the difference and recommended the brand which grew only by word-of-mouth.That was more than 13 years ago, when Nancy Boy launched in 2001 with 5 products. Today Nancy Boy sells 100 products across an array of consumer categories, including personal care, home cleaning and organic beverages, to customers on every continent. Even today, the only way people find out about us is from an actual person who's used our stuff and likes it enough to recommend it, which we love because it makes our customers part of one unbroken chain of friends.

Buck Mountain Maple
Jean Richardson (KNFP-07 Advisor; KNFP-12 Advisor)
Buck Mountain Maple Syrup derives its sweet, rich flavors from minerals in the rocks beneath the trees on our 240 acre mountain sugarbush. Once the sap is collected from the trees on our mountain, it takes about forty gallons of sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup, through a multifaceted and intensive process of boiling. On Buck Mountain the trees are tapped by the first full Moon in February, and sugaring season is finished by mid April. With the weather deciding how much sap will run, syrup is truly a gift from the trees and a precious commodity. We hope you savor our syrup, and stop by the sugarhouse if you're ever out our way during sugaring season.

Got Milked?
Alissa Hamilton (FSPF-06)
Refuting the milk industry’s overwhelmingly popular campaign—Got Milk?—which has convinced us that milk is essential, this scientifically based expose, in the tradition of Wheat Belly and Grain Brain, proves why we don’t need dairy in our daily diets, how our dependence on it is actually making many people sick, and what we can do to change it.
