NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Award-winning author Jessica Young and New York Times bestselling illustrator Renee Kurilla crafted a heartwarming story about the first day of school, told from the perspective of three timely characters: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
Yesterday and Tomorrow do everything together. Now that the first day of school is here, Yesterday and Tomorrow are unsure about what the day will bring! Until sure enough they discover the power of living in the present with the help of their new friend, Today. From the New York Times bestselling illustrator of Just Because, here is a gentle and uplifting picture book for anyone facing a new experience.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this heavily allegorical picture book written by Young, animal siblings Tomorrow, a bird, and Yesterday, a bear, navigate dual perspectives on their first school day. The sisters' differences are immediately on display as they head off: "Tomorrow walked fast," but "Yesterday walked backwards. She liked to see where they had been." During circle time, Yesterday shares "a tiny treasure" from cubhood, while bird Tomorrow describes "a big dream" of days to come. Their conflicting sensibilities build to a head at lunch, where Tomorrow daydreams "about all the things she would do if she didn't have to wait for Yesterday." Just in time, a new friend appears: Today, a fox, proves just the in-the-moment companion the siblings need. Kurilla's bright-eyed digital renderings include adorable animalian vignettes, employing thick marker-like outlining that provides an apt grade school feel. Ages 4–8.
