Catch up with a girl called Tomorrow you better be quick because shes always in a hurry! Youll catch up with the next day if you keep rushing, says Tomorrows mother. But when Tomorrow meets worrywart Yesterday and trips over thoughtful Today, her whole world begins to slow down. Tomorrow Girl is a quirky tale delivering a timely reminder about the importance of mindfulness and what can happen when we allow ourselves time to be in the momentamidst a modern-day rush. Its brimming with wonderful teachable moments for children to reflect on how they can be more mindful in their everyday lives and discover new friendships just by being in the moment.

-- Childrens Books DailyTomorrow Girl is an interesting way to focus on being in the moment and appreciating people and places around you. The story and illustrations are calming and enjoyable.
-- Blue Wolf ReviewsTomorrow hardly sees a thing, rushing here and there. Yesterday is stuck in the anxiety of past mishaps and things gone wrong, too scared to move beyond them. Today will sit and watch tadpoles, lie in the grass to watch clouds or sit in a tree quiet, still, seeing and appreciating the day he is in.
Mindfulness is a skill to be learnt and cherished so we dont miss the important things in life. Nature, a smile or a new friendship. Loved it.
