Sam Baker

Sam Baker was over 90 years old when he wrote his first children’s book. Having struggled with reading himself as a child, he became a lifelong advocate for children’s literacy as a foundation for learning. With his personal understanding that the love of reading must start young, he dedicated himself to writing stories that any child could easily read and enjoy.

Even before becoming an author, Sam led a fascinating life. He is a retired WWII veteran who centered a vast amount of his career around the principles of team building, kindness, and educational advancement for his people. Still a strong advocate for understanding and peace, these themes carry over to his stories, the foundations for which are often centered on love and kindness.
