About the Author
This debut children’s book was inspired by a moonlit night when Adi nursed her newborn son. They gazed out of the window together.
She imagined the moon as a banana with shifting shapes.
She captured that aura in soft rhymes, and in the space of a day, created a book to share the magic.
Aura Banana is lovingly illustrated by her father, a gifted graphic designer.
Adi was born and grew up in Israel. She earned a bachelor’s degree in international communications and is a Pilates instructor. She moved to Williamsburg, New York, to begin a new chapter in her life with her Italian-born life partner.
Their son, Imri, was born by the light of a full moon in New York city, as was Adi.
Adi aspires to instill in her son—and readers of this book—love for the beauty of the moon and the everyday wonders that fill our world with light. The book, its calming lullaby, and the mirror embedded in its final page offer happy reassurance: Every child has an inner light that always shines, even in the moments when it is not fully visible.

"She made me play the Aura Banana song seven times before bed! It’s become part of her little world - book, lullaby, mirror and all. She lights up every time."
Shaindy, mom of a 3-year-old
“I got this book for my 5-year-old daughter. The next morning, she came up to me and said, ‘Dad, you’re a silly banana!’ We both cracked up. She’s completely in love with it.”

“Now every night before bed, my toddler looks up and says, ‘Hi moon! I see you!’
Aura Banana helped her fall in love with the sky.”

“Aura Banana doesn’t look like your typical children’s book — it’s clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. And the message? Beautiful. We all shine in our own time.”
Rafi G.
“Reading Aura Banana is the calmest part of our day.
My son snuggles in and watches the moon from the window after. It’s magic.”
