In my early adulthood I worked as a news producer at KPNX TV until retiring to have more time with my daughters Alena and Dania. It was then that I truly discovered the joy of children's literature. After they left the nest I continued working with young learners as an Instructional Assistant at Kyrene Elementary School providing reading support to struggling students, K-5. I graduated with my masters in Literacy and Curriculum from Arizona State University in 2017. It was there that I got the idea for Sam as I watched a school bus travel up and down the hill by our house each morning and afternoon. The stories about Sam and his world grew in my head, and I knew it was time to share them with you. My luck that the most dedicated illustrator ever was also available at the same time. I hope you will become as fond of Sam and his friends as we are and join us as we reveal more adventures of Sam the School Bus."},{"label":"Author Website","value":"https://www.samtheschoolbus.com/"},{"label":"Find e-Books by This Author","value":"View <a href=\"https://digital.sonomalibrary.org/documents?adv_all=%22LaScola%2C%Karin%22|AND&searchtypes=Full%20text|Metadata&filter_190=Sonoma%20County%20Local%20Author%20and%20Visual%20Artist%20Works&applyState=true\">e-books</a> by Karin LaScola"},{"label":"Search Author or Book in Library Catalog","value":"Search for works by Karin LaScola in the <a href=\"https://find.sonomalibrary.org/client/en_US/default/search/results?qu=%22LaScola+Karin%22&te=&rt=false%7C%7C%7CAuthor\" target=\"_blank\">library catalog</a>"},{"label":"Search Author in Open Library","value":"Search for works by Karin LaScola in <a href=\"https://openlibrary.org/search/authors?q=LaScola+Karin\" target=\"_blank\">Open Library</a>"},{"label":"Search Author in WorldCat","value":"Search for Karin LaScola's author profile in <a href=\"https://worldcat.org/identities/find?url_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:identity&rft.namelast=LaScola&rft.namefirst=Karin rel=\">WorldCat Identities</a>"},{"label":"Search SCL Digital Archives for this Author","value":"<a href=\"https://digital.sonomalibrary.org/documents?search=%22LaScola,%22Karin&searchtypes=Metadata|Full%20text&applyState=true\" target=\"_self\">LaScola, Karin</a>"},{"label":"Author Name (Controlled)","value":["Karin LaScola"]}],"description":"Karin LaScola","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/85136d03-d2df-43ca-b124-4301d6e60666/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"Karin LaScola","height":400,"width":400,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/85136d03-d2df-43ca-b124-4301d6e60666/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/85136d03-d2df-43ca-b124-4301d6e60666","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1]}]},"height":400,"width":400},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/85136d03-d2df-43ca-b124-4301d6e60666/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/85136d03-d2df-43ca-b124-4301d6e60666/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/85136d03-d2df-43ca-b124-4301d6e60666/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/logo"}
