Isn't the Gospel of Thomas the only Gospel written while Jesus was alive and preaching?

Where do you get your information? No. It was written at least 150 years or more after Christ, and indeed, after all of the other gospels were written. It's a heresy, and it has NEVER been included in the canon of scripture, at any time, ever. It was recognized as "pseudepigrapha" from the get-go, as are about 20 other books from the same time frame. The gospel of Thomas is a Gnostic view (Gnosticism is pure heresy) of the alleged miracles of the childhood of Jesus. It is given credence only by heretics such as the Jesus Seminar and other non-Christian pretender groups. It was not ever given credence by any of the church fathers.

The gospel of Thomas is a Gnostic view

The Greek text of the Gospel of Thomas on display in Cairo predates the Coptic Texts. It is older than any other original text from those times.
