Samantha Smith lives in Melbourne with her three junior co-authors, an adopted cat, nine-hundred and ninety-seven compost worms and an impressive pumpkin vine that's slowly taking over the backyard. As a lover of all things green, she completed doctoral research exploring young people's relationship with the environment and how to encourage positive behavior change. Harriet's Hungry Worms is her first eco picture book, and she's hoping it will inspire young worm warriors to roll up their sleeves and put their food scraps to good use.
