Tom’s stories are a wonderful mix of heart and imagination. He’ll be reading from The Wandering Lamb (now published) and giving a sneak peek of The Butterfly Farmer (currently in print), two delightful tales that help children explore the ups and downs of growing up in a fun, engaging way.

These sessions are perfect for children aged 3–11 years, with each experience tailored to suit the age group attending.
