The Toll Troll A Rhyming Bitcoin Story

No line. No form. No troll in the way.

Bea has earned twelve bright coins selling lemon cookies, and she wants to send them to Grandma Lou for her birthday. But the only way across Wiggle-Bump River is a rickety bridge, and Grumbleton Gruff, the grumpiest troll who ever ran one, sits in a booth with a sign that says FEE. He takes some of her coins, closes on Sundays, and asks a pile of nosy questions.

Then a wise little owl shows Bea a new way to send: straight from her to Grandma, with nobody in the middle. Will her coins make it across? And what happens to a troll when nobody needs his bridge?

A fun story can get a child thinking in ways a lesson never could. The Toll Troll is a funny, rhyming picture book for ages 4-6 that leaves little ones wondering about big questions: Is that fair? Who gets to decide? Is there a better way? Along the way, it gently introduces one of Bitcoin's big ideas, sending money directly from one person to another, and gives grown-ups plenty to build on.

Inside the book:

• A read-aloud story in bouncy rhyme, told across 12 illustrated two-page spreads
• A find-it game and a draw-your-own-troll page
• Discussion questions and a "Words to Know" page
• A "For Grown-Ups" note that explains the big idea

A story about fairness and giving, not financial advice.
