About Our Authors

Jaimi Ilama

Jaimi Ilama

is the author of the Rescue Me Series. All the stories in the series are semi-autobiographical, and are taken from “real life” situations that she and her animals have gone through. As a mother and owner of many rescue animals, both past and present, she shares her knowledge and passion through story telling. She writes from both her own personal experiences and those she has learned from her animals. The themes focus on overcoming obstacles that everyone, human and animal, will face sometime in their life. Jaimi believes that by telling stories of hope and courage at an early age, it will inspire and encourage young readers to become more compassionate and understanding adults.

The books are intended to be used as a tool to help parents and teachers begin a conversation about the themes, in a loving and accepting environment. She chose animals to tell the stories because they are compassionate, generous, and never judge. It is their unconditional love and kindness that connects with the human heart so deeply. Throughout her lifetime, Jaimi has seen how children learn to be more accepting, responsible, and understanding adults when growing up with pets. And it is her mission to teach these valuable lessons to as many reader’s as possible.
