Silvia Rodriguez-Sama

Author & Archaeologist

As a writer of middle grade fiction and an archaeologist specializing in early civilizations, I explore diversity across the deep timespan of human experience.

My storytelling invites young readers to discover the vibrant cultural richness of the ancient past.

I worked with acclaimed author Francisco X. Stork as part of the We Need Diverse Books 2022 Mentorship Program.
