About this title

About the Authors

Sam Baker was over 90 years old when he wrote his first children's book. Having struggled with reading as a child, he became a lifelong advocate for literacy, believing that the love of reading must begin early. His books reflect that commitment-stories crafted so that any child could easily read and enjoy them.Sam's remarkable life extended far beyond his writing. A World War II veteran and Marine, he built his career on the principles of teamwork, kindness, and education. Even in his later years, he remained a strong advocate for peace and understanding. Sam passed away in the summer of 2025 at the age of 102, but his values live on through the stories he left behind.

As a long-time Arizonian, I've been drawing, cartooning, caricaturing, and sketching since I could virtually pick up a pencil and doodle. I enjoyed a wonderful career in finance and private banking but cartooning and caricaturing have always been a delight for me. For years, and on many occasions, my drawing antics have been my gift to family, friends, and work cohorts. Soooo when my friend Sam invited me to draw up the characters for his second kid's storybook, I couldn't pass up the fun!
