Jon Reider, Founder of Myra's Kids Foundation, wrote You Know I'm Here to help young readers navigate grief. In collaboration with Illustrator Noa Neeman, and GardenWolf Publishing, we designed the children’s book You Know I’m Here. What began as a poem read aloud each year at a lantern ceremony during Myra’s Kids Foundation’s summer grief camp has grown into a healing story to reach children around the world.

Bringing design sensitivity to every page, we selected a font that is both easy to read and expressive, allowing the tone of the story to shine through.

With design choices to honor the heart of the story, we were able to help create a meaningful visual experience that invites readers to sit with their emotions and reminds them they don’t have to grieve alone.

The book was launched at MKF's annual Ignite fundraiser in May 2025 and sold 200 copies in a single evening. The book has since become a #1 Amazon best-seller in five children’s book categories across both the US and Canada.

100% of book sale proceeds support Myra’s Kids Foundation, funding year-round programming for more than 450 grieving children and their families.
