For children, this book helps readers express their emotions, and to recognise there'll be happy days and sad days, but that love endures. For adults, this book delivers much more - Inspired by author's journey in therapy with his adopted chlildren, this sensitive story centres around the pressure children can feel to be 'perfect' and explores 'toxic positivity' that may arise from well-meaning parents who instantly try to 'fix' everything. As parents, we often forget to take the time to really listen, but this book helps to create a safe space where children can vocalise their worries, bringing families closer together, in readiness for life's tougher moments.
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.
