Pikasho Deka, Reader's Digest ""So often when we think about finance in our society, we don't take into account the importance of arming girls with the essential skills needed to achieve financial independence. Julina's approach of using age-appropriate tips and strategies interwoven with personal stories makes this the perfect guide to empower girls to handle their finances with confidence. As the mother of two girls myself, I feel this book is an essential tool for all parents of girls."" Pam Keough, President & Chief Executive Officer at Make A Wish Foundation of Connecticut, Inc."
