Scarborough-born author Sam Witty reveals latest venture a year on from debut book
Scarborough-born author Samwell – Samuel Witty – is celebrating amilestone in his writing journey with the release of his latest book, The Little Farmers Big Adventures, arriving on the first anniversary of his previous publication, Touching Souls and Changing Faces.
Marking two books in a year, the new release represents a creative departure for the author, who has turned his attention to children's storytelling with a book designed to encourage imagination, curiosity and valuable life lessons.
“Unlike traditional children's storybooks, The Little Farmers Big Adventures invites young readers to take an active role in choosing their bedtime adventure,” said Sam.
"Each night, children can select two animal companions to accompany a young farmer on a magical journey beyond the farmyard.
“From mysterious woodland discoveries and daring river crossings to heartwarming animal rescues, every adventure introduces new challenges, friendships and lessons about the world around them,” he said.
“Through its collection of stories, the book explores themes including kindness, teamwork, patience, courage and problem-solving, offering families an engaging way to combine bedtime storytelling with meaningful conversations.”
The release also provides an opportunity for Sam to reflect on 12 months months since publishing Touching Souls and Changing Faces.
Sam said: “It’s exactly one year since I published Touching Souls and Changing Faces and I wanted to mark the anniversary with something that means a lot to me.
“That book was about sharing a piece of my life with the world. This one is about giving something back, a story for the next generation, released on a day that is already special to me because it’s my son’s birthday.
“It comes from a feeling I remember from my own childhood. My mum would sit on the edge of my bed and read to me, and I’d lie there with my eyes closed, listening to wonderful stories as I drifted off to sleep. I wanted to give children that same feeling.
“For me, it’s about more than a book. It’s about those quiet moments at the end of the day, when a parent and child share a story together."
