A Kids' Indie Next List Pick

"The saturated, limited color palette of this visually stunning work underscores the heavy emotions. Particularly affecting is Qian’s pronounced use of black, which replicates the recurring absences that marked her young life." —Kirkus, starred review

"Qian’s background as a designer shines through colorful pages, delivering brilliant, lineless illustrations that accurately capture the muddled feeling of revisiting complicated memories." —School Library Journal

"Despite a disjointed narrative through line, Qian’s art seems to speak to the unspeakable, to capture what words cannot say." —Booklist

"Qian illustrates her childhood with such detail and heart that the resulting book is not only a catharsis but something close to a cure." —BookPage

"In beautiful images, Qian talks about what it means to feel abandoned by a parent, to have to abandon places and people you love—and to abandon yourself as a result. In fragmentary scenes, the author gently reveals herself to us as she reconstructs her childhood and youth in search for a new identity."
—Nora Krug, author of Belonging and Diaries of War

"Lily Kim Qian's beautiful colors and symbolic and poetic illustrations soothe wounded hearts. Until We Meet Again is a touching story of courage and warmth for anyone who has fallen and is trying to get back on their feet."
—Keum Suk Gendry-Kim, author of Grass and Dog Days

“A swirling menagerie that sweeps you up in unique paneling and limited color palette.”
—Deb JJ Lee, award-winning author of In Limbo
