Dino Explores the Natural World

A young dinosaur’s adventures in the natural world. In 2020 I began writing and illustrating a series of children’s books to share my passion for gardening and ecology with kids and their grown-ups. Each book aims to inspire children to do something practical to connect with the natural world.

"My 5 year old is pretty fussy about books but she adored these and even comments on the beautiful illustrations. It’s more important than ever for children to learn about the environment and how to care for and understand ecosystems. Tom has done a fantastic job of creating enjoyable stories with compelling illustrations in an informative way.”

"This is my son’s favourite book, it is a wonderful introduction to nature for young children which is so important. And the fact that it features a dinosaur on every page is an added bonus! A must have for your little ones library collection.”
