Author Michael Sampson on his new children's book - and fleeing Ukraine

When Dr Michael Sampson embarked on a Fulbright Scholarship late last year he was expecting to continue the research and teaching he's devoted his life to. Instead his time in Ukraine was cut short by the Russian invasion and he was forced to flee to Poland. In addition to an academic career - most recently as the Dean of the School of Education at New York's St Johns University - he is also a children's writer.
