Thomas isn’t an ordinary 9 year-old… he can see the extraordinary. Things like canals bursting with tropical fish, hailstorms in summer, plagues of hopping frogs. He draws them all in his book, The Book of Everything. There he also promises himself that when he grows up, he’ll be happy.

For his stern and serious-minded Papa, the only books that matter are about God. Thomas’ young misunderstandings are met with punishment instead of laughter. But when Papa attacks Thomas’ beloved Mamma, he has definitely gone too far.

And there’s more to Thomas’ Everything – he befriends the startling Mrs van Amersfoort and meets Eliza, a beautiful girl with a creaky leather leg. A good-humored Jesus even occasionally drops in for a chat.

A magical story for young and old, the tale of a child who learns what to do when he’s most afraid and how to face the wrong in the world.

“It’s not quite right to say it’s the best children’s show in town, it’s one of the best shows, period. Warm, witty, wise and wonderful.” – New York Post
