Quick Q&A with the Co-Authors

Q1. What inspired you to write “Amari and Aida in Aida’s Joy”?

The inspiration for “Amari And Aida In Aida’s Joy” was creating a book where Aida is the main character and allowing her to tell her story of keeping her self-confidence. Since Aida loves to smile, we decided upon the title ‘Aida’s Joy’

Q2. What message do you hope young readers will take away from the book?

The message we hope young readers take away from this book is having self-confidence and knowing the importance of holding on to their joy (smile, be thankful and hopeful), the strong positive strength that they have inside them. We want the readers to have the ability to voice and journal their emotions, feelings, and ideas to continue to develop their self-confidence.

Q3. Can you tell us more about your writing process for "Amari and Aida in Aida's Joy"? Did you encounter any challenges along the way?

The writing process for “Amari And Aida In Aida’s Joy” was fun because the steps from brainstorming, outlining, and drafting the story allowed us to go back in time to when we were little, talking about, visualizing our experiences of losing our front teeth, waiting impatiently for new teeth to grow.

The challenges we encountered along the way were keeping the story at grade level to allow our readers to understand the message of ‘joy’ as an inner strength. Thanks to our editors, Melissa Kaye, and Millie Godwin for the great revision suggestions.

In addition, we decided to add the illustrations of 'My Front Teeth' in the book to show the actual process of how Aida’s front teeth started wiggling and eventually came out. Thanks to our illustrator Leena Shariq for her beautiful illustrations of the process, from Aida's wiggling teeth to her teeth coming out.

Q4. How do you hope your book will impact children who may be struggling with their own self-confidence or other challenges in their lives?

We hope that our books in the Aida and Amari Series will impact children who are struggling

with their own self-confidence or other challenges in their lives to know that they’re not alone, other children struggle as well. We want children to understand their inner strengths and to be able to voice or write their emotions, feelings, and ideas.

Also, we hope that our books impact parents, grandparents, siblings, or caretakers in realizing the struggles many youths face to help in empowering them to develop inner joy.

Q5. Are there any upcoming projects or plans for the Amari and Aida series that you can share with us?

The Aida and Amari Series includes two upcoming projects. “Amari And Aida in Aida’s First Day Of School” will launch in August of 2023. The story takes us on Aida’s experience in developing an attitude of self-motivation and having a positive mindset with the help of family.
