Richmond, VA – Oct. 15, 2025 – Following the success of his debut book Malik’s First Job: Financial Principles for Teens, author and financial literacy advocate Kerwyn S. Phillip, MBA is proud to announce the release of his highly anticipated new book, The Money Twins: Nigel and Anaijah Learn About Payment Methods.

This latest release continues Phillip’s mission of empowering youth and families with practical money skills through relatable stories and cultural context. His first book recently earned national recognition, being featured in Essence Magazine as one of the Best Books for Raising Money-Smart Kids (https://www.essence.com/news/money-career/childrens-books-financial-literacy/)

"We must begin to teach kids about money early—because financial literacy isn’t just about dollars, it’s about decisions, discipline, and destiny," says Phillip. “This book makes those lessons accessible, engaging, and real for young readers.”

The new book, written for elementary and middle school students, uses storytelling to break down essential financial concepts in a way kids can understand. Parents, educators, and mentors will find it a valuable tool for sparking conversations about money, responsibility, and legacy.

To celebrate the launch, readers who pre-order now will receive an exclusive 10% discount. The book retails for $14.99 and is available for pre-order at www.maliksfirstjob.com
