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.
