April Summers, author
April Summers writes stories that help small children navigate big feelings. Based in Singapore, she created Tomi the Tiger after noticing how quickly little ones connect with characters who feel exactly what they feel — fear, jealousy, nervousness — and keep going anyway.
The seven-book series follows one small cub from his very first friend to his very first day of school, growing a little braver with every story.

The watercolours of Moonrags Studio
Every page of Tomi's world is illustrated in warm, hand-painted watercolour by Moonrags Studio, whose gentle style gives the jungle its soft light and Tomi his unmistakable bouncy tail.
