About The Author

Creating Taylor's World

My name is Candice Samons and I am a proud Mom to Taylor, a 5 year old who inspired this book. When Taylor was diagnosed with autism at 18 months, we began a journey to show others that being different is beautiful. Though non-verbal, Taylor communicates in her own special way and has so much to teach the world.

The books feature characters inspired by the wonderful people in Taylor’s life who provide her with immense support and have learned the books as I did in writing them. Always remember to celebrate your uniqueness and embrace who you are!
