We never know what tomorrow has in store for us. It can be anything and make a kid happy, sad, or worried. The book deals with this theme with a gentle and assuring touch. It helps kids learn not to fear tomorrow but embrace it. 

The writing is simple, poetic, and soothing. With no more than a couple of short lines on each page, the text is woven into the layout with wonderful illustrations. I like how different emotions are mentioned together for kids to understand that we cannot always separate or categorize them into good or bad. Worrying makes it worse, and maybe all the anxiety and worry weren’t even necessary in the first place. 

The illustrations are just wow. I have always been a fan of colors, and this one fills me with so much positivity. The sweeping expanse of watercolors blending into one another and the diverse (plus inclusive) rep are a treat for the senses. Kids can understand the emotions of the text even without reading it. I could stare at these illustrations all day!  

To summarize, Whatever Comes Tomorrow is a beautiful bedtime book that can ease little ones into a happy sleep. The author and the illustrator’s notes add extra charm to the content. The author has also shared useful tips for kids to manage their anxiety.
