ANNOUNCING THE RELEASE OF THE ANGEL OF SANTO TOMAS – THE STORY OF FE DEL MUNDO

Tumblehome Books is pleased to present their newest biography for kids, THE ANGEL OF SANTO TOMAS. A story about Filipina pediatrician Fe del Mundo that will inspire children to pursue science and medicine in the service of humanity.

A STORY ABOUT BRAVERY, DEDICATION, AND A PROMISE KEPT
When Fe del Mundo’s sister died, Fe vowed to fulfill her sister’s dream of becoming a doctor. This is the story of how she kept that promise, from the Philippines to America and back, through World War II and beyond, acting always with courage and care.
“A lovely and inspiring biography of a benevolent, innovative female Asian doctor. This picture-book biography celebrates not only del Mundo's many accomplishments in medicine, but also her compassion and humanitarianism. The full-color digital illustrations depict details of Filipino culture, like architecture and clothing, while also beautifully capturing del Mundo’s gentleness and her emotions.” 
~ Kirkus Reviews

ABOUT THE AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR
Tammy Yee is an award-winning author/illustrator who grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii. After graduating from college, she cared for children as a pediatric nurse. Having her own children rekindled her love for picture books, so in 1994 she exchanged her stethoscope for a paintbrush and has been writing and illustrating ever since. www.tammyyee.com
