Of all the people in the world, God chose to give your children to 
you.

He entrusted these eternal souls into your care for protection, instruction, and for the opportunity of a lifetime:

to pass on to the next generation the lessons and testimonies He has given you. 
Are you taking this opportunity and responsibility seriously enough?

In this uniquely formatted “children’s picture book for adults” Tom asks the hard questions that every parent faces, but many fail to ask themselves until it’s too late.

"This book will cause all of us to stop and reflect on the things that matter most. It's simple yet profound."

-Steve Altmeyer, CTL Family Ministries

"I cried at my first reading—the questions probed deep. It is so simple and yet so very profound."

"The questions left me thinking and contemplating much more than a 'to do' book has ever done. Thanks for putting your thoughts into words and sharing them with the world. I am already interested in sharing your book."

- Shannon




Then vs. Now


Tom and Sarah's firstborn daughter was just an infant when this book was first released in 2014 as a self-published eBook. 


Now an amazing 11-year-old Artist and Creative herself, she is helping Tom expand and reformat the book in preparation for print.


This is a testament to the world-changing potential of intentional priorities and investing in the next generation.


What others are saying about More Than Pie Crumbs:

"This is a quick read for those that don't enjoy reading, and yet filled with great concepts that I wished I could have thought about prior to having my own family. This would be a wonderful addition to health curriculums in our highschools and colleges, as well as gift idea."

- Cheryl




"So you open up what seems to be a children's book and find yourself 'poked in the eye' with some uncomfortable questions.
These are tough, ageless, and perceptive questions about your values. Have the courage to demand honest answers from the face in the mirror. Remember, the way you work through them is going to be seen in YOUR offspring for generations to come."

- Skip & Cathy




"A kick in the pants"

- Derek Clark




"Brilliant idea! Straightforward questions, apropos art work, and a simple format all add up to a delightfully thought-provoking book. Don’t Float challenges one to stop and consider the direction one is going in life and why. This unique book has the potential to impact lives in a positive, life-changing way.

Although it is easy to read through quickly, the questions are probing and linger in one’s mind. I would purchase 'real-printed-on-paper' copies to place in a guest room, on my coffee table, one to hold to read and to use as a stimulant to engaging conversations! I am voting for a paper copy to be printed in the near future!"

- Paula Johnson

Take a Look Inside

Here's a brief excerpt featuring a few of the questions and illustrations in this full-color picture book that you'll read in 10 minutes, but be left thinking about for weeks.




Life is an Adventure to Share With the Ones You Love

From Idaho/Missouri Homesteaders to International Sustainability Ambassadors

In late 2023, Tom and Sarah were faced with a decision: Either Tom could start traveling for work or commute far and work long hours away from his family. Or they could sell their Missouri Ozarks homestead and almost every possession they had, and embark on the adventure of a lifetime—together as a family. 

Since March of 2024, their family of 5 (and family pet Maltese "Snowbelle") have been traveling throughout Europe as Nomadic Homesteaders, spreading sustainability everywhere they go. 

This book is part of that adventure. For without a lasting family legacy that stands the test of time, is any homesteader truly sustainable?

Your purchases on this website and of heirloom garden seeds from Heirlooms Evermore Seed Co. help the Wylie family continue their mission of spreading sustainability to the new friends they meet nearly everyday, in a land their ancestors walked hundreds of years before.

You know you need to make some changes.

But without asking yourself the right questions, the "right answers" are meaningless.
