  • Sarah Hammond is the author of The Night Sky in my Head, which was shortlisted for the Calderdale Children’s Book of the Year Award, the Leeds Book Award (14-16 category), the James Reckitt Hull Children’s Book Award and the Angus Book Award. She has also published a picture book, Mine! Sarah has always loved words. She worked as a lawyer in London with dry serious words for several years, but after a while the lure of sparkling story-words tempted her away to do a Masters in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University. She graduated with Distinction. Originally from Lincolnshire in the U.K., Sarah now lives in Chicago and writes fiction inspired by her love of nature, traveling and secret unseen worlds that weave through ordinary life. Sarah is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and is a co-representative for their Oak Park and West Surburban Network in Illinois.
