Say Hello?

Presented for reviews at major review journals including Kirkus, Booklist, PW, SLJ, and Horn Book. Included in conference marketing for teachers and librarians.

"For shy children, or anyone apprehensive when navigating new situations, this picture book about missed opportunities to greet one another is a must. Through her masterly use of evasive language and negative space, Kim whimsically exhorts us to connect." New York TImes

Hello! It seems so easy to say, but what happens if you miss the chance to greet someone and then keep seeing that same person again and again.

In this light-hearted, funny tale, Korean author Sung Mi Kim tells a story of increasingly awkward encounters between Mr. Wolf and Little Fox and shows readers how saying hello right from the beginning could have made all the difference.

"This simple Korean import is told primarily through the characters’ dialogue and thoughts, making it a perfect choice for dramatic read-alouds and role-playing to help children empathize with others and polish their social graces." Kirkus Reviews
