Picturing Tomorrow with Nadine Kaadan
For Yazan, life has changed quickly – his friends are gone, his parents are too busy watching the news to take him to the park, and he does not know when he will get out to play again. But Yazan is being brave and remembering there is always tomorrow.
Watch as award-winning author and illustrator Nadine Kaadan draws and reads from her beautiful new picture book Tomorrow. Plus, in this event, you'll discover how the story is based on Nadine’s own experiences of the war in Syria and how books have the power to help children in frightening situations find courage and hope.
This is a pre-recorded event.
