Life Lessons From Tom Taber

With his heart pounding, Tom Taber slowly stood up and put his feet on the very edge of the dock. His eyes were focused on the diving platform which still looked to him to be a very long way away.

Learning has never been more fun in Michael Kayes’s delightful new children’s book, Life Lessons from Tom Taber.

Perfect for young children who are just discovering the magic of reading, this colorful volume is filled with four short stories featuring the one and only Tom Taber!

In “Tom Taber and the Long Distance Swim,” seven-year-old Tom learns the importance of self-confidence as he attempts to overcome his fear of learning to swim.

“Tom Taber and His Top-of-the-Line Bicycle” demonstrates the importance of sharing and the meaning of true friendship.

The grueling wait for Christmas is the subject of “Tom Taber and the Week that Took Forever,” while “Tom Taber and All It Takes is Practice” finds the young boy working hard for success in a game he loves.

Through it all, Tom learns valuable life lessons that parents and grandparents alike can share with the children in their lives.
