You're a Finder, Tom

Philippa Brown Illustrated by Laura Príncipe

A child explores his surroundings using his senses, finding joy and beauty in mindfulness.

You’re a Finder, Tom tells the story of a nature-loving boy who closely observes his surroundings. While on a walk with Mum, he constantly sees animals and insects that she overlooks. With each turn of the page, these finds are revealed to the reader. This gentle, thoughtful story will encourage mindfulness and a love of nature in children, helping them to observe and explore the world around them with all their senses so they too can become “finders”. With tender illustrations that capture a child’s sense of wonder and learning.

Philippa Brown lives in Sydney, Australia. Together with her husband she has raised three children, and over this time has fallen deeply in love with children’s literature. Philippa has worked for twenty years as a general practitioner.  As a doctor, she especially loved helping children, but her love of children’s stories eventually won, and she retired early from general practice to write. The New Baby’s Bunny was Philippa’s first published story. Flowers from Felix is her second.
