Great Story, Wonderful Message Tom the Tomato touches both heart and mind for the young and the 'older' - its message is positive, hopeful and very relatable. A book well worth reading, by yourself or together, well worth giving and sharing with others.

Our family loves Tom! A book that teaches children about the GIANT in them.

Tom the Tomato is a hit. I really liked Tom the Tomato Plant because it told how important a family is when you are growing up and that getting help when it is needed helps you succeed. The song at the end of the book shows that you can be a giant and important in your family even when you are young. I also liked the pictures and the colourful art work. It is a very interesting book.David, age 9, Toronto

Wonderful book addressing deep topics not often discussed with kids An incredible children's book which touches on some very deep and important topics in a very creative and sensitive way. This is a book that I would recommend to any parent regardless of their religious or political beliefs as the approach taken here is not to preach a particular ideology or dogma. In fact I think reading this book with a child would likely lead to a profound and meaning full conversation. Beautifully written by Dave Carroll an amazing artist, signer and songwriter and beautifully illustrated.

Heartwarming Beautifully written and illustrated by an incredibly talented artist and story teller. This book will resonate with any age but Jeff’s granddaughter will love it for Christmas!
