“Vintage, hip and modern at the same time…the message about marching to a different drummer will resonate with children.” –Booklist
Most cats meow. But not Tom Cat. He is a rebel!
Every child yearns to find his or her voice. In TOM CAT (Random House Books for Young Readers / April 27, 2004 / $14.95), a debut picture book from Los Angeles author/illustrator Noah Woods, readers join Tom in his search for identity.
Is he a duck because he likes to lounge in the bath? Or perhaps his love of jumping makes him a kangaroo! Kids will speed through this sleek, stylized ode to self-discovery wondering what Tom is. In the end, Tom realizes his parents will love him no matter what he decides.
Noah Woods has received both a Gold and Silver Medal from the Society of Illustrators. His artwork has been featured in Entertainment Weekly, TV Guide, Newsweek, and The New York Times. This is his first picture book.
