He was created out of a need-a need I felt deeply for something powerful, protective, and real to remind us of our worth when life feels overwhelming. Ari is the lion I needed when I was younger, when I was uncertain, and when I felt like everyone else had the answers but me.Growing up, I faced moments of doubt and loneliness, times when I didn’t feel like I was enough. In those moments, I longed for a voice of strength, one that would say, 'You’ve got this; you’re stronger than you think.' Ari was born from that longing-a symbol of resilience, courage, and the unwavering belief that we all carry a strength within us, even if it’s buried under life’s noise and challenges.Ari is here not only as a character but as a reminder. His name, which means 'lion' in Hebrew, is no accident. I wanted him to be more than a comforting presence; I wanted him to symbolize that inner strength each of us has-the kind that doesn’t waver, even when we feel uncertain. When you see Ari in this story, I want you to remember that there’s a part of you that’s brave and fierce, ready to protect you and guide you through anything.This book isn’t just a story; it’s a journey meant to remind you of your strength. You’ll meet Logan, a young soul navigating life’s ups and downs, stumbling just as we all do. And then there’s Ari-a steady, constant presence, reminding Logan (and you) that true strength doesn’t always roar; sometimes, it simply endures, grows, and waits for the right moment to shine.I created Ari because I wanted you to have what I didn’t always have: a voice of encouragement, a symbol of resilience, and a reminder that you are never alone. Ari is here to tell you that you are more than enough and that no matter what comes your way, you have the power within to overcome it.So, take this journey with Logan and Ari. Let it be a source of comfort and courage for you, just as creating it was for me. And always remember, my love-you have a lion within you, ready to roar.
