Sid is a sausage dog without an owner. He longs for someone to love and care for him. Maybe if he shows everyone how clever he is, they'll want to give him a home! But things don't go quite as Sid plans...
Sam's 'Happy Dog, Sad Dog' board book for Little Tiger Press was a BookTrust Choice selection and winner of the Sainsbury's Baby Book Award.

Sam has also written and illustrated a number of monster-puppet-mouth books for Templar including the Richard and Judy prize-winning 'Calm Down, Boris', the Sheffield Baby Book award-winning 'You're Not So Scary, Sid!' and the Southampton Favourite Book to Share award-winning 'Hello, Dudley!'. In 2008, she was Highly Commended in the Big Picture Campaign's Best New Illustrator Awards. Sam lives in Brighton and loves sea swimming, camping ... and all the little things in life!
