What it's about
The story follows a young girl who overhears the word 'Bitcoin' and, like any curious kid, starts asking the questions adults are often too shy to ask: What is it? Who makes it? Why do people care? As she chases the answers, the reader learns the basics right alongside her, one plain question at a time. Telling the story through a child's genuine curiosity keeps it grounded and relatable rather than preachy.
Why it matters
School-age readers see themselves in the main character, which makes the ideas stick. It also quietly models something valuable — that it is good to keep asking 'but why?' about money — a habit the whole BTCBitByBit approach is built on.
