During his senior year of high school, Amari began to wonder — how could he and his mom keep doing the things they love, together? So he started writing. Drawing from his own childhood, he created *The Silly Marmots* series, then invited her to bring the books to life beside him. From clay crafts and cookies to music, tennis, and speech and debate — they've shared it all. Silly Marmots was born from one simple wish: that "together" wouldn't fade with time. Because togetherness isn't just a moment. It's a habit of the heart.
