Discover the Challenges That Are Driven by the Relationships Between Children in Matt Mulligan’s “Tomatoes and Peppers”

A family story written by Matt Mulligan, “Tomatoes and Peppers,” was inspired by his perspective when it came to childhood. It was written to craft a metaphorical tale that could be used to measure the care and concern that people had toward children.

Matt Mulligan has had his fair share of turbulence in his life. He has undergone multiple surgeries and was born earlier than expected. He knows what it feels like to live in a world where he has a different view. He has experienced being atypical in a world that is expected to be “normal.”

“Tomatoes and Peppers” is a metaphorical story that explores the relationship between children with differences of all types and the world around them. The book examines how the attitudes, opinions, and assumptions of others, based on differences both seen and unseen, can become the real challenge that children face.
Born at 28 weeks, having had close to 30 surgeries, including 19 of those neurosurgeries; five of those two summers ago; and having been diagnosed with learning differences at 40, Matt understands what it’s like to move through a normative world in an atypical way.

Matt hopes this book will serve as a bridge of understanding between those who struggle and the world around them and that it will help rewrite the script of helping relationships of all kinds from a strength-based point of view.
