Tom Tracy

Tom is a best-selling and award-winning children's book author who has been featured by media outlets, such as CBS-Philly, South Jersey Magazine, and Gay Parent Magazine. Tom is a frequently invited guest on national podcasts, including the two-time People’s Choice Podcast Award winner, The Queer Family Podcast. Tom is also a children's book reviewer for the Dear Author Book Review program sponsored by Speak Up Talk Radio.

​​As a gay dad of two beautiful, transracially adopted daughters, Tom is committed to advancing children’s stories that are inclusive of diverse families. Historically, main characters of color and diverse families have been under-represented in children's books. Tom's books help fill that representation gap.

Professionally, Tom is a NJ Licensed Clinical Social Worker and has worked with at-risk youth and individuals living with mental illness for most of his career. Through that work, he has come to appreciate the importance of sharing one's lived experience with others through story-telling. He hopes his kids books help others feel more seen and valued, and inspire others to tell their stories as well.
