A Better Tomorrow was inspired by a personal experience and was written to help other children like myself who lost a loved one. This is a story of Jacob, a seven year old boy who recently lost his father. His mom while trying to help him cope with the loss of his father, advises him to visit his school counselor, Ms. Smith. Ms. Smith is a very nice lady. She helps Jacob understand that his father would always be around him. She made him realize that just like a bean seed never really dies, but instead grows into a beautiful plant; our loved ones who die are always with us. They give us hope of a better tomorrow.
