A parent would reach for this book when their child is facing a transition that feels like an ending, such as the last day of school, moving to a new house, or saying goodbye to a close friend. Through a rhythmic and visual exploration of cycles, the story shows how every 'goodbye' is the necessary precursor to a new 'hello.' It moves from small, everyday moments (goodbye to a snowman, hello to a puddle) to the more profound experience of a best friend moving away. Perfect for children aged 3 to 7, this book provides a gentle framework for processing grief and building resilience. Parents will appreciate how it validates the sadness of saying goodbye while quietly fostering hope for the future. It is a comforting tool for normalizing the complex emotions that come with growth and change.
