The Way We Say Hello - 9781951784249

From author Andrea Denish (Everybody Loves a Parade!*) and illustrator BlueBean (Gamer Baby(TM)) comes a touching story about new siblings, greetings, languages, and love. A special day. A special place. How will you greet a special face? A wink? A pat? A tap-tap tug? A wave? A shake? A big bear hug? A young child searches for the best way to greet the newest member of their family. Along the way, you too can discover how to welcome the world into your heart in different languages, gestures, and places. With rhyming text, heart-warming art, and nonfiction backmatter, The Way We Say Hello takes you as far as Tibet and as near as your front yard as you learn greeting after greeting. You can say "namaste," "howdy," and "annyeong." You can use a traditional greeting like the Maori hongi or European cheek kisses. You can use sign language to greet those who are hard of hearing, or send a card to someone far away. There are so many ways to greet someone new, no matter where they're from or what language they speak--so how will YOU say hello?
