Tomorrow
From the Series Lantana Global Picture Books
A boy who is too young to understand the war raging outside finds joy in a mother’s love.
Yazan no longer goes to the park to play, and he no longer sees his friend who lives next door. Everything around him is changing. His parents sit in front of the television with the news turned up LOUD and Yazan’s little red bike leans forgotten against the wall. Will he ever be able to go outside and play?
An uplifting story about a courageous little boy growing up in a time of conflict, and the strength of family love.
USBBY Outstanding International Book. Little Rebels Award shortlist. Sakura Medal Longlist. Middle East Book Award Honorable Mention.
“A story about how together we can build a better world”—Babel Babies
“Kaadan’s artwork is stunning. Capturing mood so brilliantly she conveys her characters’ emotions through every paint stroke”—My Book Corner
“The book will delight young children – there are bicycles and paper planes and annoying parents. But the impact of the war is what stays with you, the broken buildings, the falling debris, the worried faces. It is a radical, courageous thing for Kaadan to have created”—The National
