I’ll Love You From Afar by Racha Mourtada and Sasha Haddad - ADVISABLE

I’ll Love You From Afar by Racha Mourtada, illustrated by Sasha Haddad
. PICTURE BOOK. Harper, 2021. $18. 9780063138889 

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Haddad’s charming illustrations are a sweet accompaniment to Mourtada’s poetry. I really like how the five line stanzas are just enough irregular to avoid numbing repetition, while still ending in a grounding rhyme. A loving book to gift to anyone who you are leaving behind, but also heartening with its uplifting message of love.
