A 2022 CBCA Notable Book




'Reading this is like free-falling through a rainbow- the vibrant illustrations have a vintage feel, and the well-crafted story captures the highs and lows as two best friends tackle an emotionally charged day.'
-Frances Atkinson, The Sydney Morning Herald

'The colour palette is bright with shades of pink, lime and aqua that perfectly match the strong emotions on display. Davina Bell's rhyme scheme is witty, with changing meter and unusual phrasings that create a jaunty delivery for the heartfelt message. Allison Colpoys' illustrations feature a diverse range of children and families along with beautiful details ... It's warm, playful and emotionally intelligent.'
-Fay Helfenbaum, Books+Publishing

'Scribble Kids turns the page with Tomorrow Is a Brand-New Day by Davina Bell, illus. by Allison Colpoys, delivering a hopeful and reassuring message that we all have bad days, but they do pass.'
-Publishers Weekly
