Praise for Tommy Starts Something Big: Giving Cuddles with Kindness:

“Tommy Starts Something Big is a truly inspiring story. Tommy is an excellent role model to both children and adults, and he reminds us that just by giving and sharing a little kindness, we can affect the hearts and souls of others in a most positive away. Few books celebrate good, decent, intrinsic values as beautifully as this book does. It was a joy to read and will break a smile to your face as you close and ‘cuddle’ this book.” ~ Joe Nipote, actor, comedian, and children’s book author

“Tommy Starts Something Big is a heartwarming story that teaches children how one small gesture can make a difference in someone’s life. It is also a shining example of how kids are never too young to start something that can impact so many others in a positive way. I think students of all ages can learn some important lessons from Tommy.” ~ Melody Arabo, teacher

“Chuck and Kris have created an amazing role model in Tommy. Even when things are difficult for him, Tommy is able to look outside himself and see the needs of others and genuinely wants to do something to help. Each character in the book is transformed by Tommy’s simple act of giving love and kindness in the form of Cuddles. Tommy Starts Something Big would be a wonderful addition to any school’s Character Education collection.” ~ Bethany Gatto, elementary school librarian

“Fantastic! Tommy Starts Something Big is a story that children of all ages will enjoy and cherish. Memories of my own ‘cuddle bear’ raced back into my mind.” ~ Jane Malkowski, teacher
