"RJ!"

"RJ!" One little name. So many reasons for Mommy to shout it!

Meet RJ, a curious eight-year-old with a big imagination and a talent for turning ordinary moments into unforgettable family stories. Alongside his twin sister, Makayla, RJ discovers that an exciting idea can sometimes lead to a very unexpected mess!

Inspired by actual events, "RJ!" follows a spirited boy whose adventures began long before he understood the meaning of the word "mischief." From escaping his baby seat and crib to experimenting with powder, flushing things that do not belong in a toilet, and finding excitement wherever he goes, RJ keeps his parents on their toes. Whether he is at home, at the waterpark, or out with his family, his curiosity always seems to lead him somewhere surprising.

Told in RJ's own voice, this illustrated children's book brings humor and heart to the everyday challenges of growing up. As RJ shares his antics, he begins to understand that his choices affect others-and that telling the truth, taking responsibility, and learning from mistakes are important parts of becoming his best self.

Author Theresa Arjoon draws on her son's real-life adventures to create a warm portrait of childhood, family, and the patience it takes to raise an inquisitive child. Young readers will recognize the temptation to try something just to see what happens, while parents and grandparents may find themselves remembering a few "RJ moments" of their own.

With colorful illustrations and a glossary to support vocabulary development, "RJ!" offers opportunities for shared reading and conversations about honesty, integrity, consequences, and thoughtful decision-making.

Join RJ and his family for laughter, surprises, and lessons learned along the way. You never know what he will get into next!
