Our books are based on the real-life experiences of the author's family. As Tom is a gay dad of two transracially adopted daughters, representing and promoting family diversity is an important part of each book. The books are entertaining and kid-friendly while affirming the value and worth of all families. There are precious few children’s books that feature diverse families; there are even less that feature same-sex parents. Therefore, books, like those in the Scoochie & Skiddles series, are necessary additions to the world of children's literature. Books that reflect diversity promote a generation of greater tolerance and acceptance. The Scoochie & Skiddles books are a must-have addition to every family's personal library.

Playing with food is good for kids…especially kids with sensory issues and those that are picky eaters. Kids learn about foods and move toward food acceptance by exploring foods with all of their senses. Eating is a very sensory experience and we take in information from all of our senses during mealtimes. Kids learn through play. We use play-based learning to teach kids their numbers, colours, and letters; however, when it comes to food, we tend to be more serious with messages like, “Don’t play with your food.”Food play offers an opportunity for kids to explore and learn about foods, without any pressure to “eat” or “try” the foods. Children learn through looking, touching, smelling, and squishing. Over time they become more comfortable interacting with the foods and may eventually start eating them when they are ready.Nicola Pratt, Speech-Language Pathologist & Feeding Therapist provides a list of food play ideas to encourage picky eaters to be brave around new foods.
