Sandy Brown - Author
Sandy Brown is a debut children’s author inspired by her love of the sea, the Cornish coast and wildlife protection.
Sammy and the Flying Ring is her first book, created to help children understand a real conservation issue through a warm, accessible story.
Sandy’s writing combines gentle rhyme, friendship and adventure with a practical message families can use beyond the final page.
Her hope is to inspire the next generation of sea protectors and show that a simple choice—such as swapping a flying ring for a solid disc—can help keep wildlife safe.
