It is something that he has wanted to do since he was four years old. Tomie dePaola's love of books came from his mother. She used to read to Tomie and his brother a lot. Tomie's parents also encouraged him to be an artist. They bought art supplies for him. They even gave him a special place in the attic where he could work. By the time he was ten years old, he was already writing books! He made books as gifts for his younger sisters.
