The 6 Reasons Why You MUST Buy The Tale of Tom

A children’s book about Tom Brady’s career… of course it’s a good idea! But if you’re wrestling with whether or not to purchase The Tale of Tom, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re thinking of buying the book for your own kids or sending it to your favorite die hard Patriots fan as a gift, let’s break it down like it’s a Jets defense.

#1—Raise the child you always wanted to have

Do you want little Johnny to know about the Tom Brady era, or continue to drool on himself when asked about the greatest sporting hero of all-time?

Imagine if it was your kid that all of the others circled around at recess as he recited, by heart, the names of the players who scored the go-ahead points in each of the Patriots six Super Bowls. That can be your kid! That can be you! You’d be so proud. So proud.

#2—Teach your child life’s most important lessons

From sportsmanship to the importance of family, it’s all here. I can tell you this—just writing The Tale of Tom has made me a better man.

#3—Your neighbors will have a family heirloom. Will you?

Imagine a good New England family, huddled up by the fire on a cold Christmas Eve. The perfect time to share a story, a time for family traditions… don’t get stuck watching Santa Clause 2 at your house.

#4—A templated, proven approach to teaching Tom

You’re going to have to tell your little ones about Tom somehow. Would you rather be the parent tasked with giving the puberty talk, or the parent whose child says “My friend has a book about that, can you just get me that one?”

#5—12% of profits are donated to charity

I decided to donate 6% of this project’s profits to the Leukemia and Lymphoma society—1% for each of the Super Bowl’s Tom won with the Patriots. And I’m giving him 6% to allocate to a charity of his choosing, too.

#6—Have you seen the other children’s books on the market?

Jimmy Fallon is a nice guy and all, but the standards for children’s books these days are low. I’m really trying to help you out here, but go back to watching Baby Shark videos if you must.
