What is money? What does it mean to earn?
A way of life where everyone can laugh together, discovered through an encounter with beavers.
A thief drops stolen money into a river.
Frustrated and regretful, the thief searches for days without giving up and discovers the money stuck in a beaver's nest and dam!
A heartwarming story of innocent beavers and a lonely thief.
What "wonderful thing" did the thief gain by meeting the beavers...?
This is a story that offers "insight" into what true richness is and how to interact with money.
Winner of the Grand Prize in the Story Division of the 9th Picture Book Publishing Award.
Comments from the Publisher
This work was inspired by an American news report stating, "Beavers used banknotes they found to repair their dam."
Banknotes, which can make humans' eyes gleam, are simply a convenient "repair material" for beavers.
We want even young children to feel that money can have various meanings depending on its owner and how it is used.
Furthermore, we wanted to create a story that could be enjoyed by everyone, from children to adults. These were the author's intentions.
This is a picture book that serves as an opportunity to consider "a truly rich way of life" that brings happiness to oneself and others.
