Review

Definitely a timely topic for any working parent. -- Katie Couric, TODAY SHOW, NBC News

Particularly powerful because it doesn't offer a sugar-coated solution or tell children how they should feel. -- St. Louis Post Dispatch

What's a little girl to do when she keeps hearing "Goodbye, Katie" from all of her favorite people - -- Mummy, Daddy, Granny, and Grandpa? How about singing in a very loud voice, scolding her naughtiest teddy bear, or wiggling her loosest teeth? In I Hate Goodbyes! Katie tries them all, but none of them works. Instead of making "goodbyes" disappear, the goodbyes hide inside of her -- until they sneak out in enough tears to fill Granny's big swimming pool. That's when Katie learns a secret about grown-ups. Maybe there are ways to make saying goodbye fell a little better. Mark Hick's wonderful illustrations are perfectly suited to Kathleen Szaj's engaging story. -- Midwest Book Review
