"Good or bad, the things you do are all a part of being you - of learning how to take your boat on stormy seas and stay afloat."

Tomorrow is a Brand-New Day is an ode to making a mistake and then making things right. It follows two children - friends with different styles - who come into conflict with each other and those around them. The wrongdoings range from small (spilling a bowl of cereal) to large (ripping up a book) and the rhyming text insightfully captures the emotions that can cause such acts: worry, fear, embarrassment, disappointment.

Tomorrow is a Brand-New Day delivers a message of hope - hard days come and go, but love is with us always. A healing and uplifting tribute to learning and growing - to making mistakes and making amends.

Praise for the Book

"Poignant … A wonderful way to support children who feel scared about different experiences" - Juno.

"The tenderness in this story is divinely balanced with gentle pops of fluorescent colour on soft grey pages … A considered, charming and important book for anyone struggling with throwing themselves into the vast ocean of modern day society" - Kids’ Book Review.

"A gorgeous book … discusses anxiety without either demonising it or fixing it with a magic wand … sweet and tender and shiny … And any book with a penguin driving a bus is A-ok with me" - Melbourne with the Rocket.
