Dash Makes a Splash on Fox 9 Good Day

Children's author Marissa Bader discussing Dash Makes a Splash on FOX 9 Good Day
I had such a fun morning on FOX 9 Good Day talking about Dash Makes a Splash, the inspiration behind the story, and the reminder at its heart: we all belong, and even the smallest among us can make a ripple.

I had such a wonderful time joining FOX 9 Good Day to talk about my newest children’s book, Dash Makes a Splash!

With co-hosts Cody Matz and Kelly O’Connell

During the segment, I shared a little about the inspiration behind Dash — a tiny water droplet who doesn’t believe he matters or belongs until his small splash creates a ripple.

At the heart of the story is a message I hope children carry with them: you are never too small to matter or make a difference. Even our smallest actions can create ripples, and when we come together, those ripples can grow into something much bigger.

We also talked about the SEL + STEM connection woven throughout the story, as Dash travels through the water cycle while going on a journey of his own toward belonging, courage, and recognizing his worth.

I’m so grateful to FOX 9 Good Day for having me and allowing me to share Dash’s story!
