1. Book Overview
Title: See You Soon!
Short Description (50–60 words)
A gentle picture book that helps children find comfort in moments of parting. Instead of the finality of “goodbye,” See You Soon! offers a warm alternative — a promise of reconnection. Through soft, nature‑filled illustrations that follow the sun from rising to setting, young readers learn that every goodbye is really “See You Soon!”
Long Description (150–200 words)
Many children feel shy or worried when it’s time to say goodbye. It feels final, like the moment of parting will last forever. See You Soon! offers a tender, reassuring alternative. Through a simple, rhythmic structure and textured, nature‑infused illustrations, the book follows the arc of a day: sunrise, daylight, dusk, and night.
Every moment, instead of saying “goodbye” the reader says “See You Soon!” This creates a sense of continuity and emotional safety. The natural world becomes a guide, letting children know that like the rising and setting of the sun, the people we love return too. The book’s soft pacing and comforting visuals invite children to breathe, observe, and trust the rhythms around them.
Perfect for bedtime or moments of separation, See You Soon! gives families a simple phrase that carries big reassurance. It’s a story about connection and the quiet promise that we find our way back to each other.

Long Bio (300 words)
PJ Zin started Cartoonisan, a light‑hearted, analog‑first creative studio where everything starts with pencil and paper as a doodle or as a story improvised at bedtime. The unpolished moments that make kids laugh and smile are at the heart of his work.
A 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, a storytelling voice was reawakened. What started as some improvised stories grew into a stack of manuscripts – a bunch of fun stories designed to bring families a moment of ease in a hectic world.
Instead of sharing every small moment publicly, PJ takes his time and makes things thoughtfully, letting his work speak for itself. Cartoonisan reflects that philosophy: refined stories and illustrations combined with a fun sense of humor that points out the lighter side of life without taking itself too seriously.
See You Soon! is PJ’s debut children’s book, inspired by the 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 drafted, PJ Zin is only getting started.

5. Themes & Talking Points
Themes
- Saying “See you soon” instead of “goodbye” — helping kids feel less shy or scared during moments of parting by giving them a phrase that feels hopeful instead of final
- Daily rhythms in nature — sunrise, morning, noon, dusk, night — showing children that the world moves in cycles, and the people they love return just like the sun does.
- Comfort in small moments — the idea that a simple phrase, repeated gently, can ease a child’s worry and help them breathe.
- Parent‑child connection — stories born from real moments, capturing memories you want to keep forever.
- Analog‑first creativity — stories that begin as sketches, scribbles, and improvised bedtime tales before becoming refined, purposeful books
- Light‑hearted storytelling — playful, accessible illustrations and language designed to spark smiles, giggles, and shared moments.
- Finding beauty in the everyday — noticing the chaotic, purposeful rhythms of nature and how we fit into them.
Talking Points
- The origin of the book: how your son used to say “Ok, bye — see you soon!” to people in the park, and how that phrase stuck with you until it became the heart of the story.
- Why “goodbye” feels so big to kids: remembering how final it felt when you were young, and how many children feel that same shyness or worry.
- The moment the first line hit: working an overnight shift, the phrase looping in your head, and suddenly the Boynton‑style rhyme appearing: “Sun comes up and says to the moon, ‘Ok, bye — see you soon!’”
- Keeping the story simple: resisting the urge to over‑complicate the rhyme scheme and realizing the emotional power of ending every page with “See you soon.”
- Nature as emotional grounding: how the rhythms of the day mirror the rhythms of connection — we part, we return, just like the sun.
- Capturing memories: how writing this book became a way to preserve a moment in your son’s early life — something he might share with his own kids.
- Your analog‑first process: everything starts with pencil and paper, a sketchbook, or an improvised story.
- Your relationship with privacy: letting the work speak for itself, and showing that you can create meaningful things without sharing everything online.
- The future of Cartoonisan: more stories already drafted with a light‑hearted tone that will make kids laugh.
