See You Soon! by PJ Zin
1. Book Overview
Title: See You Soon!
Short Description (50–60 words)
See You Soon! is a gentle, rhyming picture book for bedtime reading and quiet family moments.
Through the rhythm of a day — from sunrise to sunset — children follow nature as it wakes, plays, rests and returns again. Each page ends with a simple, reassuring phrase: “See You Soon!”
Long Description (150–200 words)
Some moments feel bigger to children than they do to adults — especially goodbye.
See You Soon! follows the rhythm of the day, from sunrise to sunset, as the natural world moves through its familiar cycles. Birds wake and sing, animals rest, the sun crosses the sky and everything finds its way back to the comforting still of night again.
On each page, instead of saying goodbye, the story returns to the simple phrase: “See You Soon!” Over time, it becomes a gentle rhythm of its own — something easy and familiar to hold onto.
The book was inspired by a phrase PJ Zin’s son used — a small moment that stayed and became this book. Written and illustrated between family life and work, it reflects the quiet, ordinary moments that often go overlooked but deeply felt.
At its heart, See You Soon! is a simple story about connection, rhythm and the comfort of knowing that saying goodbye isn’t the end of the story.

Long Bio (300 words)
PJ Zin is the creator behind Cartoonisan, a creative studio focused on hand-drawn illustrations. Everything starts with pencil and paper as a doodle in a sketchbook or as an improvised bedtime story. These unpolished moments that make kids laugh and smile are at the heart of his work.
A working father and lifelong reader with a playful sense of humor, writing children’s books feels like a natural extension of parenthood to PJ. After reading countless books out loud many times over, a storytelling voice was reawakened. What began as improvised bedtime stories grew into a stack of manuscripts — fun ideas designed to bring families a moment of ease in a hectic world.
Cartoonisan reflects a preference for slow, deliberate creation. PJ works primarily with pencil and paper, using traditional drawing as the foundation for his illustrations and ideas. The digital process comes later, as a way to refine what already exists on the page. Each drawing is built gradually in the quieter moments of family life.
The stories are drawn from the everyday moments that are easy to overlook but often stay with you. A repeated phrase, a joke that makes the whole family laugh or a quiet routine at the end of a long day. PJ’s work aims to capture these moments and turn them into something families can return to together.
See You Soon! is PJ’s debut children’s book, inspired by a phrase his son used during family walks to the park: “Ok, bye — see you soon!” That simple line sparked a story about daily rhythms and the reassuring idea that goodbyes aren’t forever. The book captures a moment PJ wanted to remember forever and share with others.
With more stories on the way, PJ Zin is only getting started.

Each story begins as sketches, scribbles, and improvised bedtime tales, keeping the work grounded in a human, imperfect and tactile process.
