Hi, I’m Keira Chang. For my Girl Scout Gold Award Project, I wrote and published a children’s book called The Second Race – The Turtle and the Puppy: A Story About Money, with illustrations by Eugene Law. It’s a fun, colorful story that teaches kids ages 5 to 8 how to save, share, and spend more responsibly — through two best friends racing to the fair.

As a teen cancer survivor, I saw how important financial stability is during tough times, and I believe kids should learn smart money habits early. That’s why I’m raising $2,500 to donate 250 books to schools, libraries, hospitals, and Girl Scout troops — to help empower the next generation with financial confidence.
