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 |
To learn more about the book, you can view the Tumbleocity STEM presentation of THE ANGLE OF SANTO TOMAS, including Tammy's illustration process, at https://youtu.be/XF0UZowv7oM
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

A story of bravery, dedication, and a promise kept.
If you missed the live broadcast of Tumbleocity's STEM presentation of "The Angel of Santo Tomas," including some illustration demonstrations, you can watch it here. In it, I talk about the amazing and inspiring life of Dr. Fe del Mundo, whose dedication to the welfare of children carried her through World War 2, from the Philippines to the U.S. and beyond, and always with courage and care.
I also give a drawing demonstration with a time-lapse video of how the illustrations were created for this book.

After a year spent indoors because of the pandemic, I have finally merged my origami and paper engineering hobbies with my interest in conservation to create an activity book for kids.
Rainforests and Reefs, available online through Amazon and Barnes and Noble, makes learning fun with hours of puzzles, spot-the-difference, word seek, mazes, and more.
In it, you can also make paper bag puppets, bird masks, a Hawaiian monk seal visor, and several origami models.
Need help with the paper construction? I've uploded instructional videos to my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/TammyYee.
Enjoy!
From the mountains to the sea, make learning fun at home or on the go. A variety of activities and puzzles teach children about tropical wildlife and conservation. Featuring mazes, mandalas, spot the difference, word seek, and more. With 14 bonus paper projects including masks, paper bag puppets, and origami. Links to instructional videos guide children through the paper projects. |
