Meet 5-year-old Black Author, Kennedy O’ Neal Who Have Sold Over 10,000 Copies
Staff Writer
After her recent appearance on Good Morning America, the Sales of her debut book, The Adventures of Super Kennedy: Saving and Investing, have surpassed more than 10,000 copies.
Kennedy, who is a kindergartener at Faith Baptist School, had always been fascinated with shiny coins and “the green” while in diapers. She truly has a passion for earning and saving money as well as investing it which was the source of inspiration for her book. In her debut book, the 6-year old morphs into “Super Kennedy” to teach kids creative ways to save and earn money on their own. Once she has enough money saved up, with her parents help, she buys an undesirable house to fix up and collect rent. The book is geared toward 5 to 14-year olds.
Since the book’s release, Kennedy was recently featured as a guest of Steve Harvey and Taylor Thomas’ Tots to Teens Expo in Prince George’s County in Maryland in May. Kennedy and her family have also made it their mission to take part in local literacy events to discuss the importance of saving and investing money at a young age. Presently, she’s touring local schools and talking to students about the importance of saving. She is currently looking for additional schools to add to the tour.
As little as she is, Kennedy is very passionate about helping other kids learn the value of saving money. She knows that it’s the key to building a more stable, secure future. She loves kids her age but gets concerned when she meets other children who do not know that they should be saving their money. Her father says she is hoping to turn the book into a cartoon and even release a second book focused on financial freedom.
According to her father, her ultimate dream is to eventually appear on The Steve Harvey Show and Ellen.
