Beloved New Children’s Book Where Are You Going, Sammy Snail? by Author Jennifer Schwipps. A beautifully told springtime story celebrating friendship and mindfulness is now available for families and classrooms and is quickly becoming a favorite read-aloud.

NAPERVILLE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / January 29, 2026 / Author and illustrator Jennifer Schwipps has officially released her new picture book, Where Are You Going, Sammy Snail?, a visually rich and thoughtfully paced story that invites young readers and their families to slow down, notice the world around them, and savor the value of companionship.

Ideal for preschoolers and early readers, the book offers a calm, reassuring reading experience and makes a natural addition to both home and classroom libraries.

A Timely Story in a Fast-Paced World

Where Are You Going, Sammy Snail? follows Sammy, a thoughtful snail traveling through a bright spring meadow in search of his “special spot.” Along the way, he meets two new friends, Timothy Turtle and Cathy Caterpillar. Through gentle encounters and shared moments, the story captures the joy of discovery and connection.

A Lesson in Friendship
Sammy invites Timothy and Cathy to join him on his journey. When Timothy Turtle accidentally tips onto his back, Sammy and Cathy work together to help him turn over, highlighting themes of kindness, cooperation, and care.

The Power of Slowing Down
Sammy’s special spot turns out to be a cool, shaded place beneath an oak tree, where the air feels lighter, and the moss resembles a soft blanket. What makes the place truly special is not the location itself, but the fact that Sammy shares it with his friends on the first day of spring.

Mindfulness and Nature
The story gently encourages children to notice the small details of the natural world, from the scent of clover and the sound of a babbling brook to the colors of wildflowers across the meadow. It is a nature-centered narrative that invites calm attention and curiosity.

“I wanted to create a peaceful reading experience for children growing up in a noisy world,” says Jennifer Schwipps. “This book is about slowing down, paying attention, and connecting with nature and with each other.”

Unique Features That Engage Families

The book has quickly found a place among gentle read-alouds and bedtime favorites, offering a soothing narrative free from harsh language or overstimulation.

A Family Affair
The illustrations are a collaborative effort by Jennifer Schwipps, Amanda Schwipps-Allison, and Benjamin Schwipps, reflecting a shared, intergenerational creative process.

Interactive Fun
The final pages invite children to draw their favorite character or imagine a new animal Sammy might invite to his special place, encouraging creativity and storytelling beyond the page.

Classroom Ready
Educators note that the book pairs naturally with spring-themed lessons and supports classroom discussions around friendship, emotions, and seasonal change.

Where Are You Going, Sammy Snail? is now available for purchase online and through major book retailers.

MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / February 3, 2026 / Remergify, a leader in blockchain-based security solutions, today announced the release of a comprehensive white paper through its TrustNFT.io division addressing the growing crisis of brand impersonation scams and collapsing customer communication effectiveness.

The white paper, titled "Protecting Your Brand in the Age of Phone Scams: How Blockchain-Verified Employee Credentials Reduce Scam Exposure and Transform Customer Support," presents a revolutionary approach to solving two critical problems facing modern businesses: preventing criminals from impersonating company employees and dramatically improving answer rates for legitimate customer communications.

The Crisis by the Numbers

According to the white paper, Americans lost over $30 billion to phone impersonation scams in 2025, with major brands like banks, healthcare providers, and utilities being the most frequently impersonated. This epidemic has created a devastating side effect: customers now ignore legitimate calls from the companies they trust, resulting in answer rates plummeting to just 18% across industries.

"Every company faces the same challenge," said Stuart Fine, CEO of Remergify. "Scammers are impersonating your employees to defraud your customers, and even when you call customers yourself, they don’t answer because they can’t tell the difference between you and the criminals. This is costing businesses billions in lost revenue, damaged reputation, and operational inefficiency."

The Blockchain Solution

The white paper details Remergify’s innovative TrustNFT.io platform, which combines two breakthrough technologies:

1. Blockchain-Verified Employee Credentials: Daily dynamic NFTs that prove employee identity through unfakeable blockchain verification, allowing customers to confirm they’re speaking with legitimate company representatives.

2. Consent-Based Calling: A revolutionary approach that asks customers for permission before calling, improving answer rates from 18% to 59%-a 228% improvement.

Industry Impact

The research presents specific ROI analyses across multiple sectors:

• Healthcare: Reducing no-show rates from 12% to 6.8%, saving $20.6 billion annually across the industry

• Banking: Preventing an additional $420 million in fraud per major institution by improving fraud alert answer rates from 8% to 62%

• Insurance: Reducing claims processing time from 7 days to 3 days through improved customer contact

"The ROI is undeniable," Fine continued. "Companies implementing our platform can see significant returns in the first year. This isn’t just about preventing fraud-it’s about fundamentally transforming how businesses communicate with customers in an era where trust has been destroyed by scammers."

Key White Paper Findings

• Current industry answer rate for outbound customer calls: 18%

• Answer rate with consent-based calling: 59%

• Improvement: 228%

• Customer satisfaction increase: Average +28 NPS points

• First-call resolution improvement: From 45% to 75%

• Typical ROI: 2,000-4,000% in first year

Technological Innovation

The TrustNFT.io platform leverages blockchain technology to create daily employee credentials that cannot be forged, stolen, or reused. Each employee receives a unique 6-digit verification code linked to their blockchain NFT, which customers can verify in seconds through the company’s mobile app.

"What makes this unfakeable is the combination of biometric verification, blockchain immutability, and real-time customer confirmation," explained Fine. "A scammer would need to actually work for your company, pass daily biometric checks, and have access to your systems. It’s cryptographically impossible to fake."

Availability and Next Steps

The complete white paper is now available for download at reputation.trustnft.io/whitepaper. The document provides detailed technical specifications, implementation roadmaps, ROI calculators, and case studies from pilot programs.

Remergify is offering complimentary consultations to enterprises interested in deploying the TrustNFT.io platform. Organizations can request a personalized demonstration and ROI analysis specific to their industry and call volume.

"Every day companies wait, they’re losing money to preventable fraud and missing opportunities to connect with customers," Fine concluded. "We’ve solved this problem. The technology is ready. The time to act is now."

About Remergify

Remergify is a Miami-based technology company specializing in blockchain-based security and verification solutions. Through its TrustNFT.io division, Remergify provides enterprise-grade employee credential verification systems that protect brands from impersonation while dramatically improving customer communication effectiveness. The company serves clients across healthcare, financial services, insurance, telecommunications, and government sectors.
