The Tomorrow Book, written by Jackie French and illustrated by Sue deGennaro, won The Environment Award for Children's Literature in 2011. Sue's illustrations are lively and fun – often imbued with humour, but also a wonderful softness.

She’s held many highly successful workshops with school children through Booked Out, and also teaches writing and illustration to adults.

An appealing and ultimately joyous read-aloud choice.""--Booklist ""This sweet, simply told Australian import emphasizes the importance of offering unwavering support and lets kids know that they can boost others' spirits.

An adorable, cheery friendship tale.""--Kirkus Reviews Praise for The Pros and Cons of Being a Frog: ""This celebration of differences displays great respect for readers' intelligence and yields more with each reading."" (Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW ) ""A welcome example for children forging their own friendships."" (Publishers Weekly) ""Lively, visually appealing, and an ultimately affirming tale of friendship.""
