Eliseo and the First Coins
An albino ferret with pink eyes discovers money for the first time. A story about curiosity and what money is for.
The Story
Eliseo is a small albino ferret with red/pink eyes and an insatiable curiosity. Everything is new to him: every corner, every object, every sound. One day he discovers shiny round things on the table and asks: 'What are these?'
Gaia, the wise albino ferret, explains: 'That's money. And today you'll learn what it's for.' Through Eliseo's eyes, children discover what money is, where it comes from, and why it matters.
With gentle watercolor illustrations and a curious protagonist, this first book lays the foundation for all financial learning: understanding what money actually is.
