Sarah Wones Tomp

Sarah Wones Tomp was inspired to write this book by her good friends in the military, including her husband, Tom, a Naval Reserve officer. This is Sarah's first picture book. She lives with Tom, their three fabulous children, a good old dog, a frisky young cat, and a small quiet fish in San Diego, California ... a good place to see navy ships come and go.
