Sam's world changed when he became a Dad through adoption. Having never thought of writing books before, he was dramatically inspired by his children's experiences and began to write senstive, theraputic stories which help children tackle some of life's big issues. He is also passionate about representation and ensures that his stories have an authentic cast of diverse characters and creators. Successes include 'The Blanket Bears' which is now a staple for the adoption community and 'Storm in a Jar' a well-endorsed book which relflets the emotional aftermath of loss. His book about empathy, 'What Wesley Wore' (inspired by his own experience of bullying as a child) has now been translated all over the world.

"This gorgeous story left muddy footprints all over my heart." Lee Newbery, award-winning author of the Last Firefox series.
