OUR STORY based on TRUE STORY

BUCK Academy offers books and lessons written and illustrated by entrepreneurial husband and wife team Dustin and Febyolla Goss. BUCK, a friendly personification of a dollar, breaks money down to the basics with the goal of creating a new society of young savers and investors. 

The idea for BUCK Academy blossomed when the Gosses, parents of two young children, attempted to teach their son about money and they weren’t able to find any simple resources. The first book, BUCK Making Cents, is written for children ages 5-9 years old. More books for all learning ages will be coming soon.
