My friend Sam

The first of the series

In “My Friend Sam,” we dive into Sam’s world, where everyday experiences become challenges. Sam grapples with textures that others might overlook—his lunch turns into a battlefield of sensations.

At home, mornings can be overwhelming, too. The rough seams of his shirt irritate him, and the tags on his clothes feel like a constant reminder of his discomfort. Though his friends and family often ask how he feels, Sam struggles to find the words. He nods, smiles, and keeps his feelings locked away, wishing he could explain that the textures around him create a storm inside.

As we follow Sam’s journey, we see him navigating these sensory hurdles, learning to embrace his unique perspective, even when expressing it feels impossible. Through the pages, we discover the strength of friendship and the power of understanding, showing that sometimes the hardest battles are the ones we can’t put into words.
