About the Author
Taylor Hamilton’s inspiration for writing Sambo Smash and the Slamming 7 came from his own growing family. His family is new and small, but filled with love, and during their baby shower, Taylor and his wife asked guests to bring children's books and write personal messages to their baby, Scarlett. After receiving around 30 books, Taylor noticed something surprising—none of the books had any representation of sports. Given that sports have always been a huge part of his life, hobbies, and career—Taylor owns two sports companies—this felt like a significant gap.
Curious, he turned to Google and online distributors, only to realize that there were very few sports-themed books for infants and toddlers. As a coach, Taylor often encourages parents to talk about sports with their children, share personal stories, and show videos, all in the hope of inspiring a love for sports early on.
That’s exactly what he aims to do with The Slamming 7 series. These books will not only introduce the basics of sports but also share important life lessons and morals through fun, engaging characters, making sports accessible and inspiring for young readers.
