Bowling Green, KY, (News of The South) — As a financial adviser for over 38 years with five published books about money management to his name, Tony Walker decided now is the time to focus on the next generation of adults, those who are still kids. That’s why he created the character — a very real representation of his childhood and the fun he had — called Tony Balony.
Walker’s first children’s book, The Adventures of Tony Balony and Cookie, is the story of a now grown adult by the name of Tony Walker, who as a child really did have a lot of fun growing up in the 1960s with his family and his dog named Cookie. The book includes funny stories, written in rhyme, and many life lessons for young children to live by. It is wholesome in its approach and fun to read as well.
The characters are relatable, and the setting in the 1960s is appealing to adults as they read this to their children and grandchildren.
The Adventures of Tony Balony and Cookie is beautifully illustrated, with colorful pages that are sure to capture the attention of young audiences.
About the author: Growing up as a lower middle-class kid of divorced parents during the 1960s, Tony Walker had little knowledge or hope of learning about money and how best to manage it. Yet, his unique life experiences, 38 years in the field of finance, and meeting in person with over 15,000 Savers formed a unique perspective about money and ways others can better use and enjoy it while they can.
For more than 20 years, Walker has produced and directed his own weekly TV show on money called The WorryFree Retirement®. It is broadcast on seven different TV stations and five radio stations in Kentucky. He is happily married to his high school sweetheart, Susan. Together they enjoy their three children, three grandchildren and a 90-pound Black Russian Terrier named Stella.
