The embellished adjectives and highlighted verbs that Jessica has chosen are powerful. A nameless rabbit and cat guide us through the pages and add to the overall cuteness factor but the true main characters here (no pun intended) are the words themselves. Her playful style and bold use of color feel right at home in the context of a children’s hardcover.Īt face value, Tomorrow I’ll Be Brave is an inspirational poem with hand lettering interspersed. With a whimsical love for the written word and clients that include Penguin Books, Tiffany & Co., and Wes Anderson, it should go without saying that Jessica’s work is top-notch.
Hische has made a living as a master of hand-lettering. If the name Jessica Hische doesn’t ring any bells for you, I recommend Googling her work or checking out her Instagram feed. With her first children’s book, Jessica Hische offers a brand new entry to display on our shelf of favorite picture books. My 3-year-old son and I have fallen in love with the erratic scribblings of Oliver Jeffers, the warm elegance of Carson Ellis, and the understated humor of Jon Klassen. Maybe it’s the large illustrations or the sense of nostalgia, but something always beckons me to browse the kids’ section of my local bookstore. I’ve been building up my library of children’s books since… well, since I was a child. I confess I’m a grown man and I love picture books. Tomorrow I’ll Be Brave by Jessica Hische is a lesson in flourishing, in every sense of the word.įlourish /ˈflər-ish/ 1.
