Say Hello

Illustrated by Michael Foreman

A striking illustrated picture book with a strong anti-bullying message.

Based on the author’s childhood experience, "Say Hello" tells the poignant story of a boy who is left out and all alone, while other children play happily together. Michael Foreman’s beautifully spare illustrations perfectly complement the story’s underlying message.

  • Evocative, stark illustrations combine with an impressive design and use of space to create a touching experience.
  • The anti-bullying storyline offers an inclusive, and ultimately uplifting message to children.
