About

An interactive childrens book authored and engineered for the modern age. Featuring a piggy bank with a math explainer, audio narration, an audiobook for 252 storylines, and an anonymous authentication bridge linking the physical book with a digital dashboard.

I have always been passionate about entrepreneurship and I wanted to create something fun for my kids—and kids everywhere—to learn about the craft. The result is this interactive story adventure where readers help an enterprising character named Daphne start her own mini-businesses with $10 her parents lend her.

Ten Dollar Adventure is officially available in these feature-rich formats: Paperback, Hardcover, Web Book and Audiobook. I am especially proud of the unique elements packed in to make the book a truly special experience:

** Audiobook: ** With all 252 possible storylines, the screen-free mode is perfect for car rides and background listening.
** A Safe Online Dashboard: ** An anonymous magic words system that connects the physical book to a private online dashboard, so parents/kids can track their achievements easily without sharing any personal information.
** Web Book: ** For tablet or phone use, includes arithmetic explainer and narration features but styled simply to minimize distractions.
** Hands-On Fun: ** The physical books include cut-out play money for tangible, real-world earning, saving and spending play!

The magic of Ten Dollar Adventure is that it teaches implicitly without lecturing. Through the story, kids will intuitively grasp the fundamentals of earning, saving, and spending. They’ll experience the importance of early customer engagement as Daphne launches her ventures, and learn the value of taking downtime to recharge. It even explores how helping others freely—like when Daphne helps a neighbor wash a dog—is the first step toward building a supportive network of your own.
