An animation shows the colourful TVO Kids News logo against a white background.

Daniel is in his twenties, with short curly brown hair and wears glasses, pale trousers, and a bright purple TVO Kids T-shirt.

Daniel says OH, WELCOME BACK
TO
TVOK NEWS.
NOW, HAVE YOU EVER REALLY
LOOKED FORWARD TO SOMETHING?
YOU JUST CAN'T WAIT
FOR IT TO HAPPEN,
BUT IT ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE
IT'S TOMORROW,
NEVER TODAY,
NEVER RIGHT NOW.
WELL, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENS TO PHOEBE IN THE BOOK,
NOT 'TIL TOMORROW, PHOEBE.

The book cover appears on an animated window behind him.

He continues NOW, OUR SPECIAL GUEST TODAY
IS THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK,
JULIE ZWILLICH!
WELCOME TO
TVOK NEWS.

Julie Zwillich is in her mid-thirties, with shoulder-length blond hair. She wears a red shirt and a necklace.

Julie says THANKS.

Daniel says SO EVERYTHING IS
ALWAYS TOMORROW FOR PHOEBE.
ICE CREAM, A PARTY,
PANCAKES.
SO I KNOW HOW SHE FEELS,
YOU KNOW. DO YOU?

Julie says YEAH, YEAH,
ABSOLUTELY.
IT'S REALLY HARD
TO WAIT FOR TOMORROW,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE
REALLY, REALLY,
REALLY LOOKING
FORWARD TO SOMETHING.

Daniel says I KNOW THAT FEELING.
SO WE ASKED SOME STUDENTS
TO READ THE BOOK,
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AND HEAR
WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.

A clip plays.

In a classroom, a boy says I LIKE THE PART
WHEN PHOEBE...
PHOEBE GOT TAGGED,
AND TEACHER SAID
IT'S TIME TO GO HOME,
AND THEN PHOEBE GOT MAD.

Girl 1 says I LIKED WHEN PHOEBE
WENT TO GRANNY'S HOUSE.

Girl 2 says MY FAVOURITE PART
WAS WHEN
PHOEBE WAS KICKING
HER MOM'S SEAT.

Girl 3 says I LOVED WHEN PHOEBE
TOLD GRANDMA WHEN SHE
WANTED TO THROW
ALL THE TOMORROWS AWAY AND THEN
GRANDMA TOLD THE SECRET.

The clip ends.

Daniel says SO, GREAT RESPONSES
TO THE BOOK,
'CAUSE I THINK KIDS REALLY FEEL
THE SAME AS PHOEBE, RIGHT?

Julie says YEAH, THEY REALLY,
REALLY GOT IT. YEAH.

Daniel says SO WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION
FOR THE BOOK?

Julie says WELL, THE INSPIRATION
FOR THE BOOK, REALLY,
IS THAT I HAVE KIDS MYSELF,
AND WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS YOUNG,
SHE REALLY DID NOT UNDERSTAND
THE WORDS THAT TALK ABOUT TIME.
SO "TOMORROW," "YESTERDAY,"
"NEXT WEEK," "NEXT MONTH,"
"THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW."
AND SHE WOULD BE LIKE,
"YEAH, BUT WHEN IS THAT?
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

Daniel chuckles and says YEAH, EXACTLY.
SO HOW MUCH OF JULIE
IS IN PHOEBE?
LIKE, ARE YOU
IMPATIENT AS WELL?

Julie says WELL, IT WAS INSPIRED
BY MY DAUGHTER,
BUT YES,
PART OF MY PERSONALITY
IS THAT I DO GET
A LITTLE IMPATIENT,
THAT'S ONE OF THINGS THAT I TRY
TO IMPROVE ABOUT MYSELF,
BUT IT'S JUST,
HUMANS ARE LIKE THAT.

A picture of Julie with meerkat standing on her shoulder appears.

Daniel says YEAH, I FEEL LIKE
WE ALL HAVE THAT.

Julie says YEAH. I MEAN, WHO WANTS
TO WAIT FOR ICE CREAM?

Daniel says I KNOW, WHO WANTS TO
WAIT FOR ICE CREAM?
SO CHECK THIS OUT,
YOU WERE A HOST OF
TVO KIDS BEFORE, RIGHT?

Julie says I WAS, AND THAT'S ME WITH
AN ANIMAL ON MY HEAD.
THIS IS WHAT IT USED TO
LOOK LIKE ON TVO KIDS,
THIS STUDIO HERE,
AND I USED TO DO
WHAT YOU DO NOW,
WHICH IS TALK TO YOU GUYS,
AND MAKE COOL TV FOR KIDS.

Daniel says AMAZING! SO LIKE, WHAT KIND OF
SKILLS TRANSFERRED OVER,
WHAT SKILLS DO YOU NEED TO BE
A WRITER, FOR KIDS OUT THERE?

Julie says AH, WELL THE FIRST THING
THAT YOU NEED TO DO
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN
BEING A WRITER IS READ.
READ, READ, READ,
READ LIKE CRAZY.
READ EVERYTHING YOU CAN.
AND THEN ALSO, I WOULD RECOMMEND
KEEPING A JOURNAL.
YOU KNOW,
JUST KEEP A JOURNAL AT HOME,
AND WRITE IN YOUR JOURNAL
A LITTLE BIT EVERYDAY.
IT'S LIKE A MUSCLE,
YOU HAVE TO WORK IT OUT,
YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE.

Daniel says EXACTLY, KEEP PRACTICING,
TVO KIDS.
JOURNAL AND READ EVERY DAY,
SOME AMAZING ADVICE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, JULIE,
FOR BEING ON THE SHOW TODAY.
WE CAN'T WAIT
FOR PHOEBE'S NEXT ADVENTURE.

Julie says OH, I'M WORKING ON IT NOW.

Daniel says YEAH!
STAY TUNED, TVO KIDS.
