Author Description

Don't be scared Mom and Dad. Mr. Sam's monsters are friendly. Take a reading journey with your child through Monk's world where all sorts of happy-go-lucky characters hang out. Pursuing his lifelong passion to be an author, Mr. Sam - a.k.a. Sam Ward - has put together one of the most innovative and engaging reading books of our time. His creative approach to beginning reading is matched by his dynamic illustration ability. This is not a traditional ABC book. A few years ago, the author's son was diagnosed with a language disability. The writing of this book is an attempt to understand and communicate with him. The process led down a path of discovery of tools that can benefit all beginning readers.
