Ava Johnson is an adventure seeker with big feelings and big opinions who loves to travel and try new things. Except roller coasters. She really, really, really dislikes roller coasters! When Ava grows up, she wants to be a scientist, a veterinarian, and an artist. She has a growing love for live theater and makes up her own lyrics to popular songs. After several failed attempts, Ava has also managed to face her fear of going into a dark basement. How? By screaming “I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU, BASEMENT!” repeatedly as she goes down the steps to turn on the light. Ava loves her family, her friends and her dog, Peanut Butter Johnson. You can read about Ava’s adventures in the Ava + Mommy book series including But What Can You Do? and the forthcoming But How Do You Feel? and But What Can You Say?
