Say Goodbye...Say Hello by Cori Doerrfeld
Change and transitions are hard, but Goodbye, Friend! Hello, Friend! 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.
'An excellent book to use to talk to children in times of transition and change, reminding us that new things and people also bring great wonder’ Booktrust;'Delightful vignettes capture the emotional ups and downs that our connections to others can bring, and expressive children fill each colourful spread with joy, play … and tears. A beautiful springboard for conversations with little ones at times of transition.’ Children's Books Ireland;'A really wonderful book that recognises the difficulties of learning to cope with emotions, but is also full of hope.' Juno Magazine;‘This simple, touching picture book with warm and affecting illustrations will help children learn emotional highs and lows and to cope with all the hellos and goodbyes they will experience in life. A beautiful book brimful of quality in production, as well as understanding and love.’ Books for Keeps;‘This simple yet profound picture book about change and new beginnings … Doerrfeld captures all the exuberance of play and easy friendship in her expressive illustrations. A little gem.’ Irish Independent;'A gorgeously warm portrayal of friendship, loss and the possibilities of new beginnings.’ Red Reading Hub
