As Franny prepares to move to a new school, she takes time to reminisce and cherish her old school. She wants to find a way to honor this special place. How can Franny say goodbye?
Includes a Reader’s Note by the author with information on how to guide children through periods of transition or change and acknowledge their feelings throughout the experience.
“Lippert offers a paramount perspective on the topic of saying goodbye as a mental health therapist. She has created a character that readers are able to relate to. As someone who at a young age struggled when it came to moving and changing schools, I would have loved to read a story like this one.” —BookTrib
“It's also important for kids who are not moving to use empathy and provide support and hope to children who are moving on. Goodbye, School helped give closure to our students in a really positive way.” —Books That Heal Kids
"Lippert's languid prose and tender child's-eye point of view evoke the emotions of a young person's struggle with transitions, especially changing schools...Perfect for children going through transitions and the adults who guide them." —Kirkus Reviews
