A joyful, empowering call to be the hero of your OWN story! A girl
opens up a book looking for the story that's perfect for HER and
tumbles inside. But Goldilocks is not her story, and Jack and the
Beanstalk is not her story and Little Red Riding Hood is not her
story... There's only one thing for it: she's going to have to
write her own story - and the hero will be HER. A celebration of
the stories we ALL love and the stories we are yet to write, this
vivid, irresistible picture book introduces the terrific new
partnership of Smriti Halls (bestselling author of I'm Sticking
with You illustrated by Steve Small and Rain Before Rainbows
illustrated by David Litchfield) and Erika Meza (award-winning
illustrator of My Two Border Towns written by David Bowles). Also

'A thoughtful, profound, important book' - Irish Independent
Powerful and timely, To The Other Side explores 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. Each child imagines
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. A stunning, symbolic and
emotionally rich picture book about the spirit and strength it
takes to leave your home behind. Beautifully brought to life by
author-illustrator Erika Meza. 'One of the best picture books I've
read in recent memory' Steve Antony 'Perceptive and exquisitely
illustrated' Flavia Z. Drago 'Beautiful. Beautifully illustrated.
Beautifully told' Jarvis 'An incredible book' Mark Bradley 'Simply
impeccable' Steven Lenton 'An instant classic' Celine Kiernan

rich book from the viewpoint of those most impacted by border
walls: young refugee children. This powerfully told tale highlights
the spirit and strength of those embarking on a dangerous trek, and
what awaits them on the other side. My sister tells me the rules of
the game are simple. Avoid the monsters. Don't get caught. And keep
moving. If the monsters catch you, you're out. A young boy and his
older sister have left home to play a game. To win, they must
travel across endless lands together and make it to the finish
line. Each child imagines 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 realer than they
imagined. And when it no longer feels like a game, the two children
