Like Bernie Waber's COURAGE and Davis' KINDERGARTEN ROCKS!, this inspiring, vibrantly illustrated gift book is perfect for celebrating life's milestones, both great and small--especially that first day of kindergarten.
There are many ways of letting go.
With each goodbye, a new hello.
From being pushed on a swing to learning how to pump your legs yourself, from riding a beloved trike to mastering your first bike ride, from leaving the comforts of home behind to venturing forth on that first day of school, milestones are exciting but hard. They mean having to say goodbye to one moment in order to welcome the next.
Honest and uplifting, this cheerfully illustrated ode to change gently empowers readers to brave life's milestones, both large and small.
A perfect story for building confidence and kindergarten readiness:
- Social Emotional Learning: Gently introduces the idea that it's okay to be sad about saying goodbye while being excited for what comes next.
- Letting Go: Celebrates big steps like trading a tricycle for a two-wheeler and learning to tie your own shoes.
- Rhyming Picture Book: Features a sweet, lyrical text that's perfect for reading aloud and reassuring little ones about new adventures.
- Preschool Graduation Gift: An ideal present to prepare for the first day of kindergarten or celebrate any of life's big transitions.
