Goodbye Brings Hello

(3) PS Illustrated by Daniel Wiseman. In snappy rhyme and minimum words, White describes various youngsters experiencing transitions (including going from trike to two-wheeler and learning to swim) as they grow: "Loop the laces. / Knot the bows. / So long, / Velcro-covered toes." In the satisfying ending, all the children come together on the first day of school. The digital illustrations are appropriately childlike and reassuringly bold and cheerful.
