🌿 About the Author

Sidney Nadjiwon is a retired grandfather of three and the proud father of two adult children. His journey into writing began as a way to capture the curiosity, laughter, and imagination of his young grandchildren. Watching them explore the world with such excitement inspired him to create stories that celebrate discovery, patience, and the beauty of simple things. Stories are generated in the imagination of children. Sidney Just watches for them to develop, and puts them to paper. The characters may be fictitious but the basic concepts are real.

Storytelling also runs in Sidney’s family. His wife’s uncle, a published author of many books, was one of his greatest inspirations — showing him that stories have the power to connect generations and preserve wisdom. Encouraged by that example, Sidney began creating his own tales rooted in family, nature, and lessons from everyday life.

   Written Under the Pen Name Irwin’s Children Stories

To keep his writing life distinct and easily recognizable, Sidney publishes his children’s books under the pen name Irwin’s Children Stories. All Sonia Snail titles available on Kindle are published under that name, ensuring readers can find the complete collection together.
