Description
This exquisite and deeply moving picture book by two-time Caldecott Medal-winning artist Chris Raschka explores concepts of friendship, growing up, generosity, empathy, love, and time. Tomorrow's Lily is a perfect gift book for readers of all ages, as well as a terrific choice for bedtime.
A daylily blooms for just one day, opening when the sun comes up and closing when it sets. In Chris Raschka's extraordinary garden, seven daylilies bloom for others during the course of a sun-drenched week-for example, Monday's lily blooms for the baby, and Saturday's lily blooms for friends. The lovely and lyrical text underscores the value of living in the moment, caring for those around you, and being mindful of nature.
Two-time Caldecott Medal winner Chris Raschka introduces young readers to the concept of time-the days of the week, the span of a life-as well as to more spiritual and emotional concepts such as friendship, empathy, generosity, caring for others, and love. With a soothing text and stunning illustrations, this gentle, innovative, and educational picture book is an excellent choice for story-time sharing as well as gift giving.
