Hi. My name is Aja (pronounced Asia) King and I am 13 years old.

I live in Western Canada with my Mom and Dad, my brothers, our dog Milo and our cat Yang. We have two horses, Darby and Fernie.

In my book I share what a healthy and happy life is for me. Included in my book is what I eat, how I like to exercise and how important it is to believe in yourself. I also have recipes in the book for happy feelings. Here's an example and one of my recipes in my Three Grin Salad book

 AJA'S RECIPE FOR PEACE

Ingredients:

3 cups of happy sighs

6 deep breaths

1 cup of stillness

Procedure:

1. Mix the happy sighs and deep breaths in a big comforter

2. Find a quiet comfy place

3. Add in the cup of stillness

4. Let it be as long as you want

One of my dreams came true and I know yours can too! My horse Darby and I have been together now for almost 4 years. He is a quarter horse/ morgan and is a gentle, kind 8 year old gelding. We have fun jumping and just hanging out together. It is great exercise for both of us. I don't eat hay or raw oats but I eat alot of whole grain foods adn love fruits and vegetables, so does Darby! I would never give Darby junk food and I really try to eat very little of it myself.

Darby is a 'kid' too and both of us have to get lots of rest, eat healthy fresh foods (carrots and apples but he does not like raw broccoli , haha!) and we both drink alot of water. We both get alot of fresh air and rest. I don't spend very much time on the computer or in front of the tv. I find it alot more fun to be outside with Darby or my friends. I hope you find healthy foods and fun things to do outside too.

People often ask me where the idea for my books came from. I got the main idea when I was living in China. My dad was working there and I went to school in Shanghai  for several months. It's a huge city and it was an amazing experience! Anyway, the idea came to me one day at school and it just grew from there. I hope you enjoy reading my book.

 

Great to meet you and thanks for reading my book!
