        <p class="bh-pitch">A fable about inflation and where the money goes. A colony of rats learns to print a paper they call Hojas, while the real money quietly disappears. It is the Cantillon effect and inflation as a hidden tax, told as a story a child can follow. Readers&rsquo; Favorite gave it a 5-star review.</p>

      <p style="font-family: 'Fraunces', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.75; color: var(--ink-soft);">The island is a place I keep returning to. Each fable takes one idea about money, wealth, or freedom and makes it something a child can hold, without the jargon, the equations, or the footnotes. More titles are in preparation, set on the same island, with the same animals learning the same hard lessons the rest of us learn the slow way.</p>
