Sarah J. Williams is a children’s book author who has written two books, Sophia & the Dragon: Who Came for Dinner and Sophia & Mr Rocket.

She lives with her half-British, half-Swedish family in Örebro, Sweden. She has a home library with over one thousand books.

Her books are named after and based on her daughter (Sophia is her middle name). The books about Sophia contain helpful tricks, games, and stories that the author used to tell her daughter when she was little.

Writing has always been Sarah’s greatest passion. A fun anecdote is that she created children’s books before she could read herself. When she was little, she folded together paper into miniature books, drew animals, and “wrote” by using wavy lines. Then, she made up stories for the small books, telling anyone who wanted to listen. 

She’s currently working on two more Sophia books. They were written in the spring of 2024 and are currently being sold to the Swedish traditional book market. They will be published and translated into English.
