Tomorrow cover

This touching story reveals what daily life is like for children living in a war zone.

"Tomorrow" tells the poignant story of Yazan, a young boy whose world is transformed by the realities of conflict. Once a carefree child who enjoyed playing in the park and spending time with his neighbor, Yazan now finds himself confined to his home, watching as the familiar aspects of his life fade away. His little red bike, once a symbol of adventure and freedom, now leans forgotten against the wall, reflecting the changes that have taken place around him.

As Yazan’s parents become increasingly absorbed in the news, the loud broadcasts serve as a constant reminder of the turmoil outside. The story captures the emotional weight of living in a war zone, illustrating how such circumstances affect not only the children but also their families. Yazan grapples with feelings of isolation and uncertainty, questioning whether he will ever be able to enjoy the simple pleasures of playing outside again.

Despite the challenges he faces, "Tomorrow" is ultimately an uplifting narrative about resilience and the power of love within a family. Yazan’s journey highlights the strength that can be found in difficult times, emphasizing the bond between family members as they navigate the hardships of their environment together. Through Yazan's eyes, readers gain insight into the daily lives of children in conflict zones, fostering empathy and understanding for those enduring similar struggles. This touching story serves as a reminder of hope and the possibility of brighter days ahead.

“Kaadan’s artwork is stunning. Capturing mood so brilliantly she conveys her characters’ emotions through every paint stroke” -My Book Corner


“Tomorrow is a story about how together we can build a better world” -Babel Babies


“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
