W J Bilson is a Melbourne parent who believes kids should be introduced to simple concepts like compounding and diversified investing as early as possible. Basic personal money management is a clear gap in our education system, and stories are one of the best ways to fill it. When not writing, he's probably sipping flat whites and daydreaming about how small habits today can build big futures tomorrow. The Compoundabean Quest is his first book for young readers.
