Dawn was inspired by her garden and all the creatures that visit it. She loves to sit there just watching the birds, bees and butterflies flying around doing their daily things. A small mouse sometimes visited hoping some bird seed may be available. A spider lives in the garden shed. She named them Sammy and Molly and thought they would make great characters for a book. And this was how, with a little imagination, Sammy and the Wise Willow were born.
