Project Description

Project Description

Toma Books is a children’s book series for kids to learn about sustainable food systems. Through our brand, we’ll help the future generations to build a sense of responsibility and confidence in protecting our planet with multiple food-waste-reduction methods. We hope they can be more prepared when they have to handle food problems on their own, and thus take care of their living environment better. Also, we want to involve parents to participate with the kids so the whole family can make efforts together.

The image shows a book cover titled "Falling Down!" by Yiwen Chen. The cover is white with the title written in green letters at the top. The subtitle "Organic" is written in brown letters at the bottom. The cover features three cartoon characters: a brown, round character standing upright, a red, round character seated on a green-topped box, and a purple, round character with a green leafy top. The background is a light peach or beige color.An open book displays two pages of text on the left and illustrations on the right. The left page contains two paragraphs of text: “While waiting to be chosen, Toma dreams about the shiny moments of his life” and ““If I can be the star of a great course and become someone’s nourishment, my life will be so meaningful.” Toma thinks. The right page features two illustrations: a basket of vegetables and a cloud with strawberries. A speech bubble next to the basket reads “PERFECT!” with a smiling strawberry face inside.An open book displays a dark blue night sky with yellow stars and a large yellow circle. A pile of stylized figures rests on a dark mound, wearing clothes and surrounded by small objects. The left page shows a text excerpt: “They fall asleep soon. The pile is warm and soft, for one moment, they feel as if they were back to the farm.”An open book displays a blue background with two stylized clouds and falling rain. Below, a row of brown sheep with blue markings stand on a tan ground. The text reads: “Their job is to take good care of the seeds. Make sure the baby plants grow healthy.”A screenshot of a website displays a red background with a white curved shape behind it. A cartoon character with a brown body and a green hat hangs from thin yellow strings. Below, a red tomato with a green leaf sits in a brown box labeled “ORGANIC.” To the right, “WE GOT A NEW BOOK!” is written in bold brown letters, with “MORE DETAILS” in green below. The website’s navigation bar includes “STORE,” “FOOD IDEAS,” “EVENTS,” and “ABOUT.” A small Tomato DOGS logo is visible in the top left corner.
