本書以一隻與眾不同的撲滿小豬為主角，從一開始就打破「慢慢存錢」的傳統形象。Piggy 一心想快速達成存錢目標，四處搜刮零錢，沙發縫、口袋、洗衣籃，全都不放過，彷彿一台高速運轉的存錢機器。然而，急著前進的 Piggy 卻忘了最重要的事：耐心。他沒讀過撲滿使用手冊，也沒留意塞子是否放好，結果一路掉錢、目標落空。當忙碌與空虛同時出現，Piggy 才慢慢明白，真正的累積不是速度，而是持續與等待。本書以輕快的故事，帶出「慢慢來」的價值，讓孩子在笑聲中，理解存錢與成長其實很相似。Descended from a long line of patient, persistent savers, this piggy bank breaks the mold, flying in fast with a goal to gather cash. He's a supersonic saving machine! When his friends give him his first savings goal, Piggy hits the scene, rallying coins and cash in all the classic spots--from couch cushion to laundry pockets. Go pig or go home! But in his rush to save, Piggy leaves behind his stopper, and forgets to read The Official Bank Handbook, trailing the coins he's collected and failing to meet his savings goals. With his high-speed ways leaving him empty inside, Piggy must come to his cent-ces--reading the handbook, playing it cool, slowly saving, and paying with patience--if he ever wants to hit his goals and live up to the Bank name.

全書收錄泰勒絲全球巡迴演唱會精美彩照近200張【內容簡介】全球首次公開——征服世界的流行音樂天后泰勒絲，那些在創作路上的獨家！泰勒絲的歌曲不僅唱出了不同世代Swifties的心聲，也運用了高超的說故事技巧，記錄了她獨特的心路歷程。隨著人生經驗的積累與歷練，她的歌詞也變得更有層次，包含著樂觀堅定的正向精神。而在2019年，為泰勒絲發行她出道最初六張專輯的唱片公司Big Machine Label Group被音樂經紀商Scooter Braun擁有的控股公司收購。最終導致泰勒絲無法買回這些歌曲的母帶錄音，這件事成為了插在她心頭的一把刀，因為那些她用心血、靈魂灌溉創作的歌曲，淪為被別人操控的商品。「我只能強忍鉅痛，選擇斬斷過去。」泰勒絲寫道。「我在自家臥室創作出那些音樂，用我的夢想建構那些影片，當中的每一毛經費，都是我在酒吧、俱樂部或體育館，現場演唱辛苦賺來的……」即使心痛不已，但泰勒絲在過去幾年重新錄製這些她珍愛的歌曲，而這些重製的歌曲，熱門程度往往超越其舊版——本書也秉持這個精神，找回每首歌曲、每張專輯、每個時期背後的故事：從暢銷單曲到珍稀小調、從未發行作品到主打歌曲，讓我們找出泰勒絲創作的每一首歌曲內引人入勝的細節與動人心弦的時刻。
