This picture book is structured so that children can effortlessly read through a story that introduces them to how to handle money, how to think about it, and future choices. The aim is not to convey 'difficult things as difficult' but to make them 'understandable as everyday choices', and activities are being promoted to deliver this to children in the local community. [Contents of the Picture Book] The story follows the protagonist, Kin-chan, as he learns about 'the principles of money', 'investment thinking', and 'the power to protect loved ones' through adventures. To help children naturally acquire a 'sense of money' while having fun, the book was completed after approximately eight months of meetings with PC Taro's production team (PC Taro, PC Emita, and PC Jimuko). Title: Kin-chan the Investor and Kumatta PC Taro (PC Taro Dream Picture Book - Gaiden: Job Education Series Vol. 6) Release Date: October 4, 2025 (Saturday), Investor's Day Sales Location: Amazon Price: 1,000 yen (1,100 yen including tax) [Comments] Kin-chan: Kodaira City is my origin. I would be happy if this could be a trigger for children to naturally start talking about money. PC Taro: What I feel from continuing to create picture books about professions is that children often limit their potential just because they 'don't know'. I hope this picture book will be one that expands their future choices. [About Kin-chan] Entrepreneur and investor. After experiencing depression due to overwork during his salaried employee days, he decided to leave his corporate job. While building assets through side businesses and investments, he also experienced numerous difficulties such as fraud and tax audits. Currently, as an 'endless adult summer vacation', he is realizing a free lifestyle and promoting financial education based on his own failures and experiences. The mission to 'reduce the number of people who give up on their dreams just because they lack money knowledge' is the background to the birth of this book.
