2The Adventures of Frog Doctor is a true tale about a beloved old tractor that is part of the family. The tractor plays an integral part of many people's lives in the rural Texas town, and is always ready and willing to help. It is told through the eyes of a little boy who gave the tractor its name, because of its engine sounds. Frog doctor shares many experiences with the family. Each adventure, no matter if it was simply a ride across town or having to work in adverse conditions, is told through a positive lens that is intended to show children that work is good. Moreover, it teaches that good can come from challenging circumstances, that people must take care of their life's implements and that everyone has a place within a community. In the end, the tractor goes away to be with another family, but not before making an indelible impression on the family's youngest son. Tom Gray grew up in rural Montague County Texas during the 1970s and 80s in a small farming community. He understood the value of a day's work at an early age by working on the family farm and for other nearby farmers. As an adult, he elected to pursue a life outside of agriculture and went on to complete his undergraduate and graduate degrees in business. He now teaches management and finance at Dallas College while continuing to work as a management professional. Tom is married to his loving wife, Amy and they have twins Boone and Sullivan.
