Aminah, is currently in the Fourth Grade. She also loves to sing and dance and is an active member of the Joy Choir at her church. Aminah wanted everyone reading her book to know why she was writing because, she did not start out wanting to be an author. She began writing in her room when she would feel sad, or just to get her feelings out. In her own words, "I wrote this book because, I live with my Grandparents; [and,] I wanted my book printed to help other children like me understand that we are not alone."
