Tom’s Magnificent Machines

A magical, captivating picture book about the power of love between a son and his father

Tom and his dad are good at making things. Their inventions start out simple, but they quickly become bigger, faster, crazier – and they almost always involve wheels. But then Dad loses his job, and everything changes. Sadness clouds the house like a winter sky. That is, until Tom comes up with a brilliant plan that takes their amazing vehicle inventions and creates something astounding – something the world has never seen before . . .

An emotionally charged and highly imaginative book that explores themes of love and support between children and their parents but is also great fun, with incredible inventions, crazy contraptions and a wonderfully inspiring pioneering spirit at its heart.
