The Book of Everything centres on nine-year old Thomas, a little boy who dreams big. This magical tale follows the story of a child who sees things others cannot imagine, and whose spirit and curiosity wins over those around him.
Thomas is writing a book. His father says all important books are about God. Even so, Thomas writes down all the interesting things he sees that other people seem to ignore - tropical fish in the canal, a deluge of frogs, the Son of God popping in for a chat – and calls it The Book of Everything.
