The people behind the pages
Together, Ava and Vibha invite young readers to step into Danji's world—where nature has something to teach us, the stars have stories to tell, and every adventure offers a chance to grow.
Author
Ava Adames is a storyteller, wellness educator, and lover of the lessons found in nature. The Tales of Danji was inspired in part by her son, A'Van, whose creativity and spirit helped plant the earliest seeds for Danji and his world.
Inspired by nature, mindfulness, crystals, and the wisdom we discover along the way, Ava hopes Danji reminds young readers that becoming who you are takes time.
Illustrator
Vibha Rodi is a professional watercolor artist and illustrator with a degree in Applied Art. She creates watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations, storybook art, portraits, logos, stationery, and clipart.
For The Tales of Danji, Vibha brought Danji and his world to life through her warm, expressive watercolor illustrations. Her artwork helped shape Danji's distinctive character and the beautiful landscapes that carry him through his journey.

Your love, your light.
Always.
