Abstract: " Objective - Financial Quotient (FQ) is increasingly recognized as an essential competency alongside IQ and EQ, particularly in early childhood education. Although financial concepts are gradually incorporated into children's literature, the thematic coverage remains limited and culturally varied, lacking systematic exploration. Methodology/Technique - This study aims to investigate the evolving themes of financial literacy education in contemporary children's literature and assess their cultural and pedagogical implications. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted to analyze children's literature published between 2000 and 2024, focusing on narrative themes related to financial quotient and cross-cultural differences. Findings - Four key themes emerged, highlighting a progression from basic money concepts to ethical considerations. Novelty - The study reveals differences between Eastern and Western financial narratives and identifies the need for broader thematic coverage and culturally adaptive content to serve children's financial education better. Type of Paper - Empirical"
