Thomas Weck is a creative and captivating national award-winning author of children's books. Tom is a keen observer of children in many environments both in the US and in foreign countries. He had the pleasure of teaching children through the Peace Corps. He also has four children of his own to observe! Tom distilled his observations into stories that excite the imagination of young minds amidst peals of laughter and learning in the Lima Bear Series. His son, Peter Weck, his co-author, helped to re-tell the stories that his Father told to him and his siblings repeatedly over the years. Their hope is that children all over the world might share in the joy and learning to be found in the Lima Bear tales.
