Category: Picture Books

Age range 3 to 6 Change and transitions are hard, but Say Goodbye...Say Hello demonstrates how, when one experience ends, it opens the door for another to begin. It follows two best friends as they say goodbye to snowmen, and hello to stomping in puddles. They say goodbye to long walks, butterflies, and the sun...and hello to long evening talks, fireflies, and the stars. But the hardest goodbye of all comes when one of the friends has to move away. Feeling alone isn't easy, and sometimes new beginnings take time. But even the hardest days come to an end, and you never know what tomorrow will bring. '...delivers a powerful message about difficult goodbyes in a deft and moving manner. Sublime!’ — Publishers Weekly ‘Doerrfeld is carving a lovely niche with sweet, deeply attuned books for the littlest audience…wonderfully soft, jaunty illustrations convey the spark and vulnerability of the preschool years.’ — New York Times Book Review ...Show more
