My Daughter Said Boys Make More Money—So We Wrote a Book About It
She didn’t need more slogans. She needed a real conversation. So we made one—on paper.
🔷 The Story That Sparked It All
She was 10 years old.
We were at the kitchen table catching up over dinner and she said something I’ll never forget:
“I wish I were a boy… boys make more money.”
At first, I laughed.
But she wasn’t joking. She meant it.
So I asked, "Where did you hear that?"
Not from the news. Not from TikTok.
She said she read it in one of those Cat Kid books by the same author behind Dog Man. You know, the guy who just got a Hollywood movie deal and whose books every kid seems to be reading right now.
That’s when I knew we had to do something different.
We didn’t argue. We didn’t shut it down.
We had a real conversation—about what really affects how much someone earns:
🔷 Time worked
🔷 Job danger
🔷 Career choices
🔷 Personal priorities
🔷 Risk, tradeoffs, and effort
That conversation turned into a children’s book.
🧠 Meet Mia.
Mia’s curious.
She’s funny, bold, and way too smart to accept something just because an adult said it.
When her teacher mentions that boys make more money than girls, Mia starts paying attention—and something doesn’t add up.
So she speaks up.
Asks a hard question.
And ends up back in the principal’s office. Again!
With help from her dad, Mia starts digging for the truth—and learns way more than anyone expected.
