Liyana and Mrs. Engel Liyana Manha, a fifth-grade student at Abbey Lane Elementary School, has proudly published her first book, A Day in the Life of Ari. This achievement is a shining example of her passion for writing at a young age.

Supported by her family and teachers, she crafted and published her book through Page Publishing in July 2024. Abbey Lane is proud of our young author!
