The Adventures of Sammy the Wonder Dachshund is a series of children's books about a Dachshund named Sammy who works for the Internet as a fact checker. The series debuted in 2008 with Sammy's Last Week in Charleston, followed by Sammy on Safari, Sammy in Space, and A History of Wonder Dachshunds. Each illustration is made from hundreds of pieces of layered construction paper and card stock, with some taking upwards of 30 hours to create.
It began circa 2007, when a spark flew between Jonathan Miller and a friend's dachshund. An artist with a business degree from College of Charleston, Miller decided to use an art form he'd been playing with to create a children's book based on the spunky weenie dog. Miller lives in Charleston, SC, and visits more than 200 schools around the country each year, speaking to students about reading, writing, art, and book-making.
