See You on the Other Side

K-Gr 2–Narrated in first-person rhyming quatrains and told from the perspective of a lost loved one, this gentle title offers comfort to young readers coping with grief. The text reassures that love can still be felt even after loss: “Like the moon still shines/ when hidden by the sun,/ I’m here to guide you./ Your journey’s just begun.” It also offers suggestions for processing loss: “Write me a letter/ and share how you feel./ Your message will reach me/ and help you to heal.” The quality of the verse is a bit uneven, though accessible throughout; Minor wraps sadness in encompassing language that does not limit this to a specific religion or belief system. Rahman’s digital illustrations are soft and ethereal, depicting diverse skin tones, family structures, and stages of mourning; each spread shows a child or family moving through their grief in different ways, often with the spirit or memory of their loved one (pets included) incorporated into the art.
