To The Other Side by Erika Meza is a powerful, award-winning story that captures the heart and spirit of two young refugees in search of safety. This beautifully illustrated picture book offers a poignant narrative that resonates with children and adults alike.

Set against the backdrop of conflict and war, the story follows a young boy and his older sister as they transform their treacherous journey into a game filled with dreams of a better future. With every twist and turn, their imaginative thoughts—of a spotted dog, ice cream, or a new school—contrast starkly with the real-life challenges they face.

  • Award-winning narrative: Recognized as the Best Picture Book at the Diverse Book Award 2024.
  • Emotionally rich illustrations: Erika Meza’s artwork brings the journey to life, depicting both the joy and sorrow of leaving home behind.
  • Promotes empathy: As part of the 2024 Read for Empathy Collection by Empathy Lab, this book encourages important conversations about understanding and compassion.
  • Critical acclaim: Shortlisted for prestigious awards like the Yoto Carnegie Medal and the Jhalek Prize.

This compelling tale not only highlights the resilience and courage required in the face of adversity but also serves as a valuable tool for parents and educators to foster empathy in young readers. To The Other Side is more than just a book; it’s a gateway to understanding the complexities of the refugee experience, making it a must-have addition to any child's library.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
