Bitcoin Money: A Tale of Bitville

The townsfolk of Bitville want to trade with each other, but they keep running into the same problem: what should they use as money? They try rocks, then shiny beads, then paper notes printed by a well-meaning king — and each time discover a catch, especially when someone can simply make more of it and everyone else's savings quietly shrink. Through the story, young readers meet the qualities that make money trustworthy — scarcity, durability, fairness — and finally a money that nobody can secretly inflate. Warmly illustrated, it teaches real monetary ideas without ever feeling like a lesson.

This is the best possible starting point for families, and a favourite way for parents to learn the fundamentals right alongside their kids. It plants the single most important idea — that who controls the money supply matters — in a form a six-year-old remembers. A perfect first book before the app's Family Corner lessons.
