Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—Two children experience the transition from autumn to winter in this luminous picture book. In a brown field edged with trees, a dark-haired duo, perhaps brother and sister, play in a pile of red, yellow, and orange leaves. As they travel across the landscape, the text alternates between simple greetings—"Hello, leaves…Hello, clouds."—and responses. "Hello! We're ready to fly far, far south," the robins and cardinals reply. This dialogue is whimsical and informational, succinctly describing the habits of animals and plants preparing for winter, but also greeting the "silent night" who "quiet(s) the juniper and maple trees." The children journey from the forest's edge, past a farm, and into town as the hazy afternoon turns to blue twilight. While they sleep, their world is transformed into a winter snowscape with only the occasional red leaf appearing as a visual link to autumn. Upon waking, they reverse their journey, greeting snowflakes, frost, and icicles, and finally building a snowman in the same field where they began. Pak's digitally enhanced watercolor-and-pencil illustrations contrast the rounded softness, reds, and browns of the countryside with the sharp corners, grays, and blues of a vibrant, diverse urban community preparing for the winter holidays. Each detailed spread is arranged horizontally, making it easy for young audiences to follow the children's movement from left to right across the countryside. VERDICT Lyrical and informative, this lovely introduction to the seasons is perfect for sharing with young audiences in groups or one-on-one.—Chelsea Couillard-Smith, Hennepin County Library, MN

Review

"Lyrical and informative, this lovely introduction to the seasons is perfect for sharing with young audiences in groups or one-on-one." ―School Library Journal on Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter

"Pak’s well-executed first appearance as both author and illustrator offers a warm welcome to fall." ―The Horn Book, starred review, on Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn

"A gentle, gorgeous welcome to summer’s end and fall’s beginning, perfect for storytime or one-on-one reading." ―School Library Journal, on Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn

"A visual success conjuring up the best about the seasons’ changes." ―Kirkus Reviews, on Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn

"The focus is on the natural world, but Pak (Flowers Are Calling) celebrates city life, too, with drawings of diverse townspeople . . . that show a rainbow of a community. It’s a thoughtful look at the kind of change that unfolds almost imperceptibly." ―Publishers Weekly, on Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn

False fact

False fact
Right on the beginning of this book, it states robins and cardinals fly south for winter. Cardinals do not migrate, and only some robins do. These are common backyard birds. How did this pass publishing? Especially the cardinal, a well known winter bird. So weird. Ive been using these books to teach my daycare kiddos about seasons and to me that’s a blatant discrepancy.

This is a cute book that takes children on a journey. This starts off with the changing of fall and ends with a nice winter storm.

The words are nice and easy to read. They have a flow to them that gives children a nice amount of information, but not to much to overwhelm them.

The illustrations are nice. When winter comes, this book will be a nice read for children who are looking forward to winter.
