Sammy's Backyard Safari

Grab your gear and join Sammy on a backyard safari! From birds and butterflies to lizards, beetles, spiders, and other fascinating critters, there is always something amazing to discover just outside your door.

Through colorful illustrations based on real-life photographs and observations, Sammy's Backyard Safari encourages young explorers to slow down, look closely, and appreciate the wildlife living all around them. Along the way, readers will meet feathered visitors, sun-loving reptiles, tiny creepy-crawlies, and even a few creatures that are best admired from a safe distance.

Each discovery is paired with fun, kid-friendly facts about the animals and insects Sammy encounters, helping children learn how these creatures live, move, eat, hide, build homes, raise their young, and play a part in the natural world. Gentle safety reminders and backyard safari rules also encourage children to explore responsibly, respect wildlife, and always have a grown-up nearby.

Whether children are reading on their own or sharing the book with a parent, grandparent, teacher, or caregiver, Sammy's adventures invite them to ask questions, notice small details, and see familiar outdoor spaces in a whole new way.

With a few simple tools, a little patience, and a sense of curiosity, kids will discover that every backyard can be an adventure-and that some of nature's most fascinating creatures may be closer than they ever imagined.
