About the Author
Aura Banana was born during a quiet moonlit night in New York while Adi was nursing her newborn son, Imri.
With moonlight filling the room through large windows, mother and son often found themselves gazing together at the night sky. One evening, Adi looked up at the changing shape of the moon and imagined a banana hanging in the sky. The moment felt especially magical because bananas were among Imri's first foods and quickly became his favorite. At the grocery store, he would excitedly point to the wall of bananas asking for his "ba ba banana" - a love that continues to this day.
That evening, Adi began telling Imri a story about the banana moon. After he drifted off to sleep, she opened the notes app on her phone and began writing. What started as a quiet bedtime moment soon became Aura Banana.
Inspired by the wonder of motherhood, the beauty of the moon, and her own journey of discovering and trusting her unique light, Adi created Aura Banana as a gentle reminder that we each carry a unique light of our own.
Lovingly illustrated by Adi's father, Aura Banana is a celebration of imagination, connection, and the quiet light that lives within us all.
Born under a full moon, Adi later welcomed her son Imri into the world beneath a full moon as well - a connection that continues to inspire the heart of Aura Banana.
