Description

Tomorrow Bright Before Us

An Inspiring Quote for Every Day of the Year

illustrated by Victoria Ball

(Nosy Crow)

The introduction to Tomorrow Bright Before Us offers that ‘this book’ includes ‘lots of wise and wonderful quotes from writers, thinkers and activists who have a lot to say’. In fact this collection of short phrases are those that may have been ‘said or written’ shared and repeated, because they are ‘important, memorable or beautiful’.
There is one for every day, covering the gamut from politics to stories, seasons, rebellion, dreams and hopes. What’s more the range of contributors pass through years and miles. However, the first, from Alan Bennett‘s History Boys, contemplates ‘the best moments in reading’. Doesn’t January 1st, and such a selection, set the bar high for the words to follow?
Won’t we wander to our own birthday quote? This Bookwagoneer has a Swahili proverb, the other a quote from Kelly Yang’s essential Front Desk. 
Then again, this is a book for keeps, one to gift, one to hold with reverence and reference within a school or library. it shows in Victoria Ball’s nostalgia toned illustrations with nudge between landscape and domestic, from the animal kingdom, into ocean depths.
Bookwagon recommends Tomorrow Bright Before Us hugely. We are so proud to recommend this book.
