Bookroo's summary

Two best friends navigate the bittersweet cycle of goodbyes and hellos. As seasons change, they embrace new adventures, but the toughest farewell comes when one must move away. Can the promise of new beginnings mend their hearts? Discover how even the hardest days can lead to unexpected tomorrows in this touching tale of friendship and change.

From the publisher

From the creator of The Rabbit Listened comes a gentle story about the difficulty of change . . . and the wonder that new beginnings can bring.

Change and transitions are hard, but Goodbye, Friend! Hello, Friend! demonstrates how, when one experience ends, it opens the door for another to begin. It follows two best friends as they say goodbye to snowmen, and hello to stomping in puddles. They say goodbye to long walks, butterflies, and the sun…and hello to long evening talks, fireflies, and the stars. But the hardest goodbye of all comes when one of the friends has to move away. Feeling alone isn’t easy, and sometimes new beginnings take time. But even the hardest days come to an end, and you never know what tomorrow will bring.
