About the Author
Hi! It's so nice so meet you!
My name is Mika Samuelle.
I was born and raised in NYC where I grew up with artists, authors, and musicians. My mom was an opera singer so one would always find me with my hands covering my ears! As I got older, I began to appreciate my mom’s musical talent so I decided to study Theatre in London. I began working as a Stage Manager for off-Broadway plays, Broadway musicals, and operas in Italy. When I was working with the NYC Ballet, I was inspired to create stories that interweave music and art and thus Peter Plumber and Baxter were born! I now live in New Jersey and find joy in the rhythm of life with my husband, two daughters, and tap dancing.
Testimonials
"Shuffle Off to Buffalo is a fun, energetic and joyful book. My three and five year old granddaughters were enchanted. Their other grandma lives in Buffalo so they think the book was written just for them! Pure joy."

"I just read Peter Plumber's Perfect Plan and was absolutely enchanted! The way Peter turns everyday plumbing into delightful music had me captivated. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves a blend of imagination and heartwarming tales."
“Reading Peter Plumber's Perfect Plan reminded me of the powerful impact music can have on our communities. If you are looking for a beautifully illustrated storybook that will introduce children to classical music, look no further. The gradual crescendo of the storyline mimics the tension and release trajectory of the classical masterworks referenced in the suggested listening list. I look forward to reading additional titles from this brilliantly talented team as they explore the vibrant musical cultures of our precious planet.”
