Author/singer/composer Barbara Roman is the ‘go-to’ person both for child readers and for authors of children’s books – knowledgeable, warm, sensitive, caring and always the champion for her audience, be they readers or writers! Her extensive list of publications includes travel stories – some very fine and entertaining trips to the various countries of the world – meaningful history books, and fanciful children’s stories. She now offers THE LAND WHERE MONEY WAS NOTHING, a superb story enhanced by the illustrations of Vladimir Cebu.
‘Elias was rich at last. He packed his million-dollar inheritance in his suitcase and left behind everything and everyone he knew. “I’ll go someplace where people will respect me for a change, because I am the one with the money, not my father.” And with that pompous attitude Elias sets off to an isolated island where he encounters a groundskeeper of a house he wants to buy…but it’s not for sale…a hotel clerk who won’t accept money…a waitress who won’t accept a tip…and a real estate broker who won’t allow a sale, stating “We have no need to buy anything because we have everything we need.” Frustrated and curious, Elias visits a schoolhouse where the teacher is informing students there will be no more classes because of a fire in the storehouse that housed all the paper for books. Elias takes out all of the paper money he cannot spend, gives it to the school and Voila! – his ‘paper’ can be recycled into books and the school is saved! “I can’t think of anything I needed more than to put my money to good use.” ’Elias’ money was worth nothing on the island, but the paper it was printed on was priceless.’Barbara quite subtly and sensitively offers moments such as “We have whatever we need, but we must give something in return, something that is important to the person receiving it” And with a little story that focuses on values, priorities, and generosity, she provides an entertaining and very enriching tale for children – of all ages!!! Brilliant!
