About the play partner: Sean had no idea he would be a children’s book writer-or so did he? It was after a suggestion from the editor, and thinking that he wanted to do a film about caterpillars and butterflies- since there doesn’t see to be any- that he decided to write his first book. His books educate and inspire children and families while fulfilling his mission of opening the consciousness of humanity through entertainment and science.
