Let’s have some fun!

Here are outlines of Sam and his dog Penny, and Chamie, Sam’s chameleon.

You can print them out and color them in.

You can send me your colored drawings and I will post a few on this website.

Here are the five questions and a bonus question from the end of the book. I’d love to hear your answers and thoughts on these questions. You can email me your answers, and I will post a few on this website. And I will write back to you. Thank you!

Questions

1. What was your favorite part of the story?

2. How do you decide if you like someone? What if they look different than you?

3. How would you help Sam if kids were being mean to him?

4. When have you been really nice to someone? How do you think it made them feel?

5. How can you be kinder to other people? Think about it. Talk about it with someone you trust.

Bonus Question

A famous writer, Maya Angelou once said: “Be a rainbow in someone’s cloudy day.” What does that mean to you?

“Always Sam captures the hearts and minds of readers. It is a contemporary fairytale destined to become a classic. My children love it, and it’s a regular bedtime story. It inspires meaningful family discussions.”
