To The Other Side

by Erika Meza - £7.99  Hachette Children's Group (2023)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781444971781 | ISBN 10: 1444971786

A powerful and timely story, exploring the journey of two young refugee children in search of safety. Perfect for opening up conversations about conflict and war, encouraging empathy and understanding.
 
A young boy and his older sister have left home to play a game. To win, she tells him, they must travel across endless lands together and make it to the finish line.
 
Children they meet along the way imagine what might be waiting for them across the border: A spotted dog? Ice cream! Or maybe a new school. But the journey is difficult, and the monsters are more real than they imagined.
 
And when it no longer feels like a game, the two children must still find a way to forge ahead, and reach the other side.
 
Beautifully brought to life by author-illustrator Erika Meza, this is a symbolic and emotionally rich picture book about the spirit and strength it takes to leave your home behind.
 
Recommended for readers aged 3-5
