Ari J. is in the first grade now, and she knew this school year would be perfect. She had perfect clothes. She had a perfect pair of glasses to give her perfect sight. She would be making perfect grades. She had the perfect friends: DJ, Rae, Dylan, and Taj. She even had the perfect teacher, Ms. Windsun.
The only thing that Ari J. thought was not perfect was her kindergarten hair.

Ain loves writing beautiful stories for children. She also likes hanging out with her son, DJ, traveling, being outdoors, trying new types of cuisines, and spending quality time connecting with family and friends. Ain currently lives in Stone Mountain, GA, but she spent most of her life in Detroit, MI. She spent many summers in Nashville, catching fireflies after sunset. "Ari J.'s Firefly Rescue" is a follow-up to Ain's first children's book, "Ari J.'s Kinky, Curly Crown."
