The heart behind the stories

Hello, I’m Lila.

Australian author, mum and early childhood educator.

Pink Tomorrow Books begins with the little moments that can fill a child’s whole world: choosing what to wear, saying goodnight, trying something unfamiliar or finding words for a very big feeling.

My 23 years working with young children, alongside the everyday experience of motherhood, shape the stories I create here in Sydney.

At the centre of this world are Zoe and Pierre: a spirited little girl and her pink poodle companion. Their stories make room for imagination, uncertainty, brave tries and the comfort of sharing a book with someone who cares.

My hope is simple: that a child recognises a little of themselves in these pages, and the grown-up beside them finds a story worth returning to.

For older readers, Pink Tomorrow Project offers journals and paper companions for the changing days of girlhood.

You’re warmly welcome in our little pink world.
