Overview

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. AGES: 4 to 7 AUTHOR: Dianne is the author of BLUE ON BLUE, illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Beth Krommes which received four starred reviews and was also named a Boston Globe Best Picture Book of 2014 and an Amazon Best Books of the Year 2014 (ages 3-5), among others.
