THE BEGINNING
Alexander and Jennifer proudly present Ariam and the Magic Toothies, a heartwarming series inspired by their youngest daughter Javy's childhood creativity. Around twenty years ago, Javy's imagination sparked a delightful idea: a 'Toothy' that transforms into a magical helper when its tooth is clean and bright, assisting the Tooth Fairy in all her duties. Jennifer, a keeper of treasured memories, had safely stored the adorable drawing in a memory box. Fast-forward to 2022, life took a dramatic turn for Jennifer. While caring for patients as a nurse, she suffered an injury from a tough fall, forcing her to take a break and focus on recovery. During that downtime, a beautiful surprise emerged! While decluttering with her husband Alexander, they rediscovered Javy's drawing. This chance reignited Jennifer's passion for writing. With Alexander's loving support, Jennifer poured her heart and soul into crafting Ariam and the Magic Toothies. As she navigated her health challenges, creating this enchanting world brought her joy and purpose. Ariam and the Magic Toothies became more than just a book – a refuge, solace, and labor of love. This experience reminded them that beauty and joy can thrive even in adversity. Alexander and Jennifer are committed to sharing their gift with children everywhere, spreading love, kindness, and compassion. For them, Magic Toothies represents a mission to nurture young hearts and minds in a world where kindness prevails.
