Tom McCabe

Many years ago Tom asked a roomful of teachers and children, "Have you ever sat in front of a piece of paper and not known what to write?" Everyone raised a hand, even the teachers. That was thirty years ago. Tom has figured it out.

Along the way he has shared his tales and programs with more than a million children and adults here and abroad. He has told stories at The Kennedy Center, in a one-room schoolhouse on an island off the western coast of Ireland and at The White House.
As a teacher he presented a summer-long series of teacher trainings at USS Constitution. He has taught "Writing Across the Curriculum" at Brooklyn College on the graduate level to active classroom teachers and he has toured nationally presented credited teacher seminars for the Bureau of Education and Research.
A "Parent's Choice Award" recording artist, Channel 5 Boston has dubbed him: "New England's Pied Piper."
