<p>Hi, my name is Sean McLaughlin and this is the first children's book that I have written and illustrated. The main character is a wild salmon named Sam, and he is just being born alone and on his own in the beautiful Callahan River. He has no clue of the adventures that lie ahead or of the different creatures that he will come across. This is only the first book of a lasting series that I hope to create, and eventually make into a cartoon one day as well. I want this book to not just entertain and inspire young minds, but parents and adults alike as well. I want it to capture and bring to life, in animated form, the amazing and awe-inspiring journey that this beautiful God-given creature takes upstream; in hopes of not just surviving but thriving as well. This is a book that I am confident your kid will love with a character that he or she can root for to pull through until the end. The inspiration that I get watching the salmon fight his was upstream on the nature channel, was enough for me to get down and write this story bringing it to life. Enjoy!</p>
