Sodad, author, poet and inventor; came to the United States searching for his dream. Sodad lived in the Midwest for fifteen years before moving to the West Coast. He now lives with his wife and four children in San Diego, California. Sodad's inspiration to write for children comes from the busy and special time he spends daily with his own children. Time spent reading, telling them stories, and sharing fun times. Sodad received a B.S. Degree from University of Minnesota. Most of Sodad's writing focus is around children and their dreams. He shares in their imaginations. Some of Sodad's previous works include CATS, RATS, and FEATHERS, a feature film screenplay; and HISTORY, a work of poetry found in the National Library of Poetry. Currently Mr. Safer is creating a new screenplay entitled, CLONING OF SANTA CLAUS. The YELLOW PIG stories are some of the most creative, imaginative, and funny books available for young children today.
