About

Tip, an 8 1/2 year old boy, rides a commuter train each day. He meets up with immigrants, travelers and learns much about them. Some are carrying tote bags with their homeland delicacies. The book celebrates the diversity, customs, and morals of those he meets. Just what America needs now. Tip’s journey is filled with youthful buoyancy and innocence. It has thoughtful lessons. There are 23 special illustrations in the 60-page book. The book also gives the reader the chance to find some of the many objects on the train. The story speaks of the importance of learning about the world and paying attention to detail.

The main character is Thaddeus Isaac Pendleton, but because that is a mouthful, he is called TIP.

TIP’s Magical Journey, The Ride of Discovery and Inspiration was written to speak to the celebration of human diversity. The illustrations by an artist/sculptor capture the details that bring the story to life. The book was designed to create and develop conversations between parents and their children to help prepare them for the challenges of life. Each conversation sets forth wonderful advice to Tip. Parents can ask their child what they see in the incredibly detailed pictures. The illustrations in the book provide many talking points.
