In this warm-hearted picture book, Maryann Cocca-Leffler follows a toddler from morning to bedtime, showing that all saying “byebye” really means is that you’re ready to say “hello” to the next fun thing on your “agenda.” With a bare minimum of words, and playful artwork, this is one of those rare read-alouds perfect for very young children.
