Hi, I’m Sam Carter! 👋

I’m a devoted dad of two, science nerd at heart, and lifelong lover of big questions. When I’m not exploring nature with my family or dreaming up new stories in my trusty RV, I’m writing books that help curious kids discover just how amazing the world really is. 🌍🧪

I created Curious Young Readers to mix thrilling stories, fun facts, and real science experiments that kids (and grownups!) can enjoy together. Whether it’s Cleopatra’s cleverness 🤴🏽, the magic of metamorphosis 🦋, or a DIY comet zooming across your kitchen 🚀— my goal is to turn every “Why?” into a “Wow!”

If your child loves asking questions, digging into facts, and trying hands-on experiments, you’re in the right place. ✨
