POSITIVELY JAX: A 6-year-old girl is one of Jacksonville’s newest authors after she wrote and published her first book.
Her passion for writing started with reading books to her dad at bedtime.“She was reading to me and she was like, ‘I want to write a book,’” her dad, Leonard Smith, explained. “And I was like, ‘Write a book? What are you talking about?’”
“I wrote this book because I wanted people to know you can do it if you put your mind to it,” Ari said. “And I wanted to see girls that look like me.”Writing moved to formatting, and — despite a few bumps in the road — the book “Ari & YoYo” was complete. It’s about Ari’s adventures with her imaginary friend, YoYo.
