SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE, November 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Singapore educator and Financial Storyverse^® creator James C Foo Leong has introduced a world-first concept in finance learning with the launch of Once Upon a Balance Sheet¹ and the debut of Count Jargon^®, an author-created, trademarked plush educational character.

The book was released earlier this month on 7 November 2025, and has already gained strong traction on Amazon — reaching the #1 Amazon Hot New Release and #2 Amazon Best Seller in both of its listed categories.

Count Jargon^® is designed into the book’s learning structure, guiding readers through core financial ideas.

Tonight, 17 November 2025, he is unveiled for the first time as a physical plush companion, extending the Financial Storyverse^® beyond the page and making financial literacy more accessible for non-finance professionals.

This combination —
• a financial literacy book for non-finance professionals
• written by the author
• featuring an author-created, trademarked learning character
• launched with its own companion plush at the book celebration event
— has no documented precedent, making this a verifiable world-first based on available searchable records.
