What families say
“Tomi the Tiger was a very impressionable book as it helped my son navigate the realms of making friends. It also became an opener for me to ask him if he had ever encountered such situations before. Overall a great insightful read for parents and kids.”
“Tomi the Tiger really resonated with me as a parent. It gave my son a relatable way to understand friendship, social situations, and the challenges that can come with making new friends. More importantly, it opened up some meaningful conversations between us about whether he had ever experienced similar situations himself. A thoughtful and insightful book that I'd recommend to both parents and children.”
“I really liked Tomi the Tiger because it showed me how to make friends and what to do when things are not easy with friends. It made me think about things that have happened to me too. I also liked talking to my dad about the story and telling him about my own experiences. It was a fun book and I learned a lot from it!”
