Carli Valentine- Children's Book Author, Illustrator has always been passionate about writing and storytelling. From a young age, she learned of the magic that existed in books and has been entranced by it ever since. As a child, she consistently begged her parents for visits to the library so she could hand-pick from their vast collection of magical works. Her parents frequently caught her hiding under her bedcovers sneaking a book she couldn't put down, long into the night. It must have been the warm, soft glow of the reading light that gave her away!

Her goal as mother and an author, is to spread the magic of books to children so they can join in her obsession of reading. She loves to create fun stories by gathering inspiration from her kids. She resides with her husband and 2 boys (Finnegan and Lochlan) in Ogden, Utah. When she's not working on her children’s books she likes to hang out with her family and volunteer at her son’s elementary school and with various children’s heart defect charities. She has authored books including Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch, Turkey Trot, and Christmas is a Feeling and BIG Plans for Tomorrow with many more in the works.

Cute imaginative book that would be wonderful for bedtimes! My son giggled when we read this as he said it reminds him of himself. He also stated he loved the fun little seek and find on every page to find the cat and bunny. I thought it was cute and well illustrated! Cute read for kids under 5 or 6!

I won this book from a Goodreads giveaway. All of the statements above are my true opinions after fully reading this book.

Good imaginative bed time read
This is really a good bedtime read where the little boy is excited about what he will do tomorrow - going to zoo, ice cream shop, space travel, going to deep ocean, etc. This will definitely help kids to imagine and look for a fun- filled better tomorrow. And yes help them in sleep too. Good work by the author.

Big Plans For Tomorrow is an imaginative, relatable, heartwarming, creative, energetic, and endearing story! This book truly captures the heart and imagination of childhood. It highlights fantastical ideas, endless joy, and larger than life interpretations of ordinary events.

As night falls little Sammy gets ready for bed. After he completes his nighttime routine he cuddles up with his mother and asks a very important question......"mommy, tomorrow what are we going to do together?". His mother asks him what he would like to do and Sammy's imagination runs wild. He describes countless fun adventures which he will all embark on with his mother tomorrow. The magic of childhood is expressed perfectly in little Sammy's plans. At the end of all their planning Sammy and his mother agree that regardless of what the day brings all that matters is that they have fun together. I love this heartwarming message!

What child doesn’t go to bed thinking of what they will do the next day? Sammy, the young child in this imaginative and charmingly-illustrated bedtime story envisions building a gigantic city out of blocks, swinging from trees with monkeys in the zoo, touching the sky while swinging in the park and many other wild adventures. Sammy’s mom goes right along with his big plans and responds each time with, “and then what?” until finally Sammy drifts off to sleep dreaming of tomorrow’s exciting adventures. The illustrations are bright, colourful and fun, and the text is easy for budding readers. Children will also enjoy spotting Sammy’s kitty and bunny on each page. Perfect book to encourage sweet dreams and wind down after a busy day.

A Beautiful Bedtime Story

This is such an adorable bedtime story. Sammy is getting tucked in to bed, but asks his mother what adventures they will get into the next day. He lets his imagination run, thinking of all the fun things he and his mother can do. I love the illustrations in this book, as well as the bond between Sammy and mom. This is a wonderful book to read with your children before bed. Highly recommend!

Sammy is all ready for bed. Tomorrow is another day, and he has big plans with his mom! Building a block castle that reaches the ceiling, swinging from trees like monkeys, and building a rocket ship to blast off to outer space are just some of the things Sammy has planned for the next day. A perfect bedtime story to end the day on a positive note and look forward to the future with positive outlook.

Perfect Bedtime Story!

Engaging bedtime story with Sammy and his mother. Sammy describes different adventures that he hopes to do with his mom the next day. Zoos, spaceships, building a tower are just a few, and to top it off with an ice ream cone with sprinkles. I really enjoyed the colorful illustrations which keep the reader totally engaged. I can’t wait to share with all my grandchildren.
