Phoebe is a young girl who hates waiting, especially for tomorrow. Every good thing she wants to do, she is told it will happen tomorrow. The author showed Phoebe's emotions and frustration. She was not told these feelings were wrong or chastised for them, that often happens. She was given a solution that was realistic and from someone she loved and trusted. Many children have this same problem and this book is a great one to use when dealing with this type of frustration. As an addition to the problem solving, this book showed a diverse classroom without making that anything other than a normal part of the book. The illustrations were cute, showing the emotions correctly. A great addition to a family, class or school library.
This is a very cute book about waiting for tomorrow and being patient. I loved how they showed and explored the child's frustration, acknowledged and made her feelings valid, while also giving solutions for waiting.
I loved the diversity of the characters in a book that isn't about diversity. You had all types of kids and families (a child in a wheelchair, mixed race family, single mom, dad with the kids, etc).
Overall, it was a cute book, with a good lesson on patience and some great characters.
