Goodbye Brings Hello: A Book of Firsts

Reach for this book when your child is facing a significant transition, such as starting preschool, moving to a big kid bed, or trading a tricycle for a bicycle. It is a comforting tool for moments when a child feels stuck between the safety of the past and the intimidation of the future. The story uses a rhythmic, rhyming structure to show that every scary goodbye to a familiar comfort is actually a brave hello to a new adventure. While the book covers specific milestones like the first day of school, its real value lies in how it reworks the concept of change from a loss into a gain. It validates the bittersweet feelings of growing up while building the self-confidence needed to embrace independence. It is an ideal read for children ages 3 to 7 who may be prone to anxiety during new experiences or who are struggling to let go of old habits.
