Cori Doerrfeld’s exquisite picture book, Say Goodbye…Say Hello (ages 3-8) chronicles the big life changes experienced by a little girl called Stella – going to school for the first time, sitting alone at the school cafeteria, the change of seasons, the loss of a pet, and a best friend moving away. The sparse, poignant text and deceptively simple yet gorgeous illustrations show how each sadness can be followed by a greater joy, how each loss can be balanced by a new discovery, and how wonder can be restored in this beautiful, terrible human existence called Life. An unflinching, gentle and ultimately hopeful picture book for young children dealing with the complicated emotions arising from unexpected or unwanted changes and transitions.
