AJ Mandrina is a devoted mother, reiki master, and first-time author. Her passion for lavender began many years ago, but it deepened after she worked on a lavender farm, where she experienced its beauty, fragrance, and homeopathic advantages more regularly. This inspired her desire to share her love for the plant with her daughter. When she couldn't find a simple, fun, and vibrant toddler-friendly book about lavender, she decided to create 'Good Morning Lavender'.
