Tom Tracy is an award-winning children’s author.  Shortly after adopting their first daughter, Tom and his husband discovered a dearth of children’s stories that featured same-sex parents of transracially adopted children.  Despite countless books on the shelves of their home, their daughter saw very few families that looked like hers on the pages between the covers. Tom started writing to help fill a representation gap in children’s literature. Tom and his family have been featured on CBSPhilly news (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECCdc6M54GM ), SJMag (https://sjmagazine.net/family-kids/adoption-story ) and Gay Parent Magazine (https://hubs.la/Q01gbGh_0 ).  Every family has their own unique story to tell and Tom hopes that by telling his, it inspires others to tell theirs.  More information about Tom and his books can be found at www.scoochieandskiddles.com
