Wonderfully You: An Ode to Adoption (author signed Limited Edition hardcover)
$24.95
This story about the author's transracial adoption of his youngest daughter is sweetly told in rhyming prose. While an ideal book for any family, it will certainly resonate with families formed through adoption. This is one of those read again and again books.
The Limited Edition cover is not available from retail or online stores - it is only available directly through the author. The cover pays homage to the importance of the "adoption triad" - biological parent, adoptee, adoptive parents.
Consider also the companion coloring book to help keep the story after it has been read.
Jazmyne's Big Emotions (author signed hardcover)
$24.95
1st Runner-Up in the prestigious 2025 Eric Hoffer Book Awards
Just like all of us, Jazmyne (who is in foster care) can have some pretty big emotions sometimes. Those big emotions have come out through her behaviors. In this book, she shares coping skills she as learned and invites the young reader to explore those with her while encouraging them to also identify other coping skills that will work for them.
Consider purchasing this together with kid-friendly, "Managing Emotions Workbook".
Some Families, All Families (author signed hardcover)
$24.95
Available in both English and Spanish, this is another fan favorite. Each page reflects a different family structure or characteristic through beautiful AI rendered imagery, while the story both celebrates difference and those characteristics that are common to all families.
Practice Makes Progress (author signed hardcover)
$24.95
Only a few left!
We all know the saying - "Practice Makes Perfect." The reality is that perfection is an unattainable goal. Hence, "Practice Makes Progress." The book title was actually given by Tom's daughter who reminded him that "nothing is perfect."
Managing Emotions Kids Workbook
$12.95
One of my best-selling items. This book is full of activities and worksheets that make feelings and coping skills exploration fun for all. Kids love it and adults can use it with kids to help open important conversations. Pages can be reproduced for repeated use.
Consider purchasing this with the storybook, "Jazmyne's Big Emotions".
