Updates from Owning the Dash: March 2024
Hello Friend,
Happy Monday! Those are two words we don’t often hear together, but today is a very happy day! I’m excited to share that we are less than a month away from the release of the fifth installment in the Owning the Dash Kids’ Book series. Akash and Mila and the Big Jump releases April 2!
For those who live in North Carolina in the Raleigh/Durham and Cary areas, we will host a book launch party on April 2 at 7:30 pm at Triumph Gymnastics, the location where the book takes place. All are welcome, but please reply to this email to confirm if you plan to attend and to receive details on the event including games, activities, prizes, and a read-aloud! All five Owning the Dash kids’ books will be available for sale at the event as well as a bundle package at a discounted rate.
Thank you again for all of your support with the Owning the Dash journey and our mission to help promote childhood financial literacy. Hope you enjoy the new book!
Best Wishes,

New Review on Rohan and Nyra and Big Sister’s Bet! 😍
“While this story is cute and entertaining for children, what struck me about this book is the creative way to teach several lessons. Though the author’s intent is to introduce financial acumen, I see others embedded within—one of patience, one on materialistic caution, and one on accepting defeat—lessons we, both children and adults, should remember each day.” --Books Uplift
