Tomeo, the creative mind behind “The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times,” will be making a special appearance at the highly anticipated Los Angeles Times Festival of Books 2024. The event is scheduled for April 21 from 3-5 PM in the Gold Zone at Booth 182. Attendees can look forward to meeting the author, having their books signed, and engaging in meaningful discussions.

Inspiration struck Tomeo while watching Disney’s Fantasia and being enchanted by a dancing hippopotamus. This whimsical moment led to the creation of a humorous poem focused on the hippopotamus, culminating in the creation of the chapbook. In a world often overshadowed by darkness, Tomeo believes in the therapeutic power of humor to bring light and joy, especially during challenging times like the recent pandemic. Having experienced his own battle with bladder cancer, Tomeo found comfort in humor and mirth.
