"Wesley Learns About Real Estate" is a children's book authored by Prince Dykes with collaboration from NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Davis. This book is a part of the "Wesley Learns" series, which is designed to introduce children to various financial concepts and investment strategies. The book aims to provide a fundamental understanding of real estate and investing through a story that is both educational and engaging for young readers. The story follows the character Wesley, a young boy who, along with his friends or family, learns about the world of real estate investing. Through the narrative, Wesley is taught the importance of property ownership, the basics of how real estate works, and the potential that real estate has for generating wealth. Topics such as buying, selling, renting properties, and understanding the value of location are typically covered in an age-appropriate manner that is easy for children to understand.
In addition to the educational content of the book, Prince Dykes and Terrell Davis have been known to host events to promote financial literacy among children and their families. These events often include giveaways, such as free copies of the "Wesley Learns" books, stocks to encourage investment learning, and other educational resources. The goal of these giveaways is to spark an interest in financial education and provide the tools necessary for children and their parents to begin thinking about investments and savings. Moreover, such events usually feature food and activities designed for kids to make learning about finance fun and interactive. These activities might consist of games that simulate real estate transactions, workshops where children can learn about money and investing, and Q&A sessions with the author and collaborators to help clarify any concepts presented in the book.
The combination of free resources, educational content, and interactive experiences creates a supportive environment for children to start learning about the importance of financial literacy and the role of real estate in wealth building. By engaging with the community through these events and providing valuable resources, Prince Dykes and Terrell Davis aim to empower the next generation with the knowledge to make informed financial decisions and foster an entrepreneurial spirit from a young age.
