About Me

Sam Ahearne is the author of the Pete and Suzie series. Sam writes fun, thoughtful children's books filled with giggles, big questions, and lots of heart. Her inspiration came from the joyful, silly, and deeply connected moments she shared reading with her own children. There was always laughter, plenty of silly voices, and the kind of magic that only comes from cuddling up with a good story.

A lifelong lover of books and a spiritual seeker at heart, Sam wanted to create stories that were more than just fun. She dreamed of books that would also help children feel calm, safe, and connected—to themselves and the world around them. Through gentle storytelling, the Pete and Suzie series introduces simple spiritual ideas, kindness, compassion, and calming tools like breathwork and yoga—woven naturally into playful adventures.

Whether it’s belly laughs at bedtime or quiet moments before sleep, Sam writes stories that bring families closer, help little ones feel more grounded, and plant seeds of joy, mindfulness, and love.

Sam believes that kind acts can change the world, one small gesture at a time. A smile, a compliment and a thank you can have a huge impact. Kindness builds community and that is what will change the world.
