In June of 1995, I was inspired to write a poem I titled TOMMY T. It was after my, then 2 year old son Eric, decided he no longer would tolerate peas for supper and sent them flying. A few days later a random pea found its way back to the kitchen. I picked it up and mused where it had been all this time. The poem is that pea's adventure.
Watercolorist/Artist and friend, Peter X O'Brien, did these charming and hysterical illustrations. As a tribute to my love of ladybugs, he has hidden one on every page. You will have a great time searching for them with your children.
For Christmas of 2013, my husband, Scott Lonsway, decided to give me the gift of a lifetime by having the story published. This is a result of that incredibly heartfelt gift. He and Peter worked months on creating this book. I will be forever grateful to him and Peter for their dedication and commitment to make this happen. And yes it was a complete surprise!
