I Don't Need Sheep to Sleep! What do you do before you go to sleep at night? Sometimes you can let your mind drift to new places. You can explore the ocean floor or visit far off planets. Who needs to count sheep! Just please, PLEASE, fall asleep. My name is Sam and I am a licensed psychologist living in New York. I am a self-proclaimed "nerd" who loves movies, music, comic books, and sci-fi novels and is willing to discuss the finer points in superhero lore. I have always wanted to write and illustrate a children's book for several years now. When my daughter was born, and I went on paternity leave, I decided that it would be now or never. I want to make books that are fun and informative. I primarily want books that my child can recognize herself in. Representation matters!
