The bank becomes a giant safe-keeping place where families' money goes when they're saving for something big.
How this is different: This isn't a book where your child pretends to be a banker. It's the book where your child finally understands what you actually do.
'Banker' covers a lot of jobs — and most kids think it's just 'the person at the counter.' This personalized children's book translates your actual role (retail, commercial, investment, wealth, fintech) into a story that finally explains what you do at work all day.
What bankers actually do all day
Meet people who need money for a house, a truck, or a business
Go through the numbers to see what they can actually afford
Keep money safe and moving to the right places
Explain confusing paperwork in plain words
How to explain a banker's job to a child
If your child is 3 or 4
Bankers help keep people's money safe. When a family wants to buy a house, they help work out how much they can pay each month so nobody runs out.
If your child is 5 to 7
A banker helps people save and borrow money. They look at what someone earns and spends, decide what they can safely repay, and explain the paperwork so there are no surprises later.

Frequently asked questions
I'm in investment banking / wealth / commercial — same book?
Yes, with your role reflected. Investment banking gets a deal-focused frame; wealth gets a 'helping families plan' frame.
Will it be too 'finance-y' for a kid?
No. We strip the jargon and translate every term. Your kid won't hear 'mezzanine debt' — they'll get the kid version of what you do.
Can the book include my company?
Most parents prefer a fictional bank name. Your call — we'll include or leave out as you prefer.
Every WorkTale book closes with two pages no name-swap personalized book has. First, a "So, what does Mommy, Daddy, or your grown-up do?" page that distills the parent's entire job into one plain-spoken line a child can recite from memory, with no jargon and no job description. Then an "About the Author" page with the parent's real photograph, name, job title, and a short biography blurb, so the illustrated hero is revealed as the real person the child knows. Why the parent is the hero.
