Book Review for Say Hello by Kelly Gregory, Alice Larsson (Illustrator)

Happy 1 Year Anniversary for Say Hello! And author Kelly Gregory 


Say Hello by Kelly Gregory, Alice Larsson (Illustrator)

Published:  August 22, 2023 by Blue Balloon Books


Taken from Goodreads:
 
"I can be your friend, you know. Take a moment--say hello!" Written by pediatric occupational therapist Kelly Gregory, Say Hello invites children of all abilities to overcome the barriers our differences create and lay the foundation for friendship with one simple word--hello! In this delightful and engaging book, readers will meet a diverse cast of uniquely abled new friends and discover that the things that set us apart don't need to keep us apart.

 

My Thoughts:  Say Hello is the perfect book for anyone whose child is set to go out in the world.   The pictures were cute but defined enough to show the difference in people.  I loved that the pictures showed each child doing “normal” child things.   The only thing making them different is their unique disability.  

This book should be in any Early Childhood or Kindergarten classroom.  It is a great book to show that people who are different from you are not scary.   Everyone can be friends.

Thank you Blue Balloon Books for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
