Chris and Julie are the dynamic duo behind this inspiring children’s book. Chris, a single father, wrote the book during a challenging time when he was hospitalized for leg surgery. Faced with the long road to recovery, Chris wanted to create a story that would help children understand that even the most difficult challenges can be overcome. His personal experience with adversity fueled his desire to impart a message of resilience and hope.
Julie, a skilled Yoga and Pilates instructor and teacher trainer, has a passion for positive, transformative messages. With her first book, Change: A Book for Yoga Teachers, released in June 2024, Julie has always harbored a dream of writing children’s books. Her goal is to reach as many young readers as possible, spreading messages of empowerment and positivity.
Together, Chris and Julie created the character of Sam just three days after Chris’s surgery. Symbolizing strength, love, and courage, Sam is a powerful representation of the duo’s shared vision to inspire and uplift children, even in the face of adversity.
