Alongside his passion for creativity, learning and child development, this book was inspired by delivering football coaching sessions to 2-6 year-olds, focusing on the holistic development of the child through fun games. After years of modifying and animating games to make them more fun and engaging for learners, sessions were produced to allow children the opportunity to play characters within a story. Having refined the stories, Tom decided to share them with children around the world, giving them the chance to bring the stories to life while facilitating their holistic development.
