The Heart Behind
the Book.
Sami Perlman has always seen herself as a writer, but with her debut children's book, she proudly steps into the role of author—sharing stories that reflect both the lightness and complexity of growing up.
While five months pregnant, Sami and her husband, Brandon, made a nightly ritual of reading baby books aloud to her belly. They rated each one based on its morals, artwork, and ease of reading, but often felt something was missing—stories that truly balanced levity with depth, that could spark smiles and still leave room for reflection.
Today, Sami writes stories that aim to fill that gap—books that celebrate the small moments while gently inviting deeper conversation. Now a mom, Sami writes with both heart and humor. Through her work, she hopes to remind families that every feeling is worth exploring, every moment is a chance to grow, and every story can leave a lasting imprint.
Mindful Themes
A sweet story with intentional undertones to encourage young readers to think about meaningful concepts.
Interactive Activity
Includes two questions at the end of the book to encourage self-reflection and communication with your little readers.
