Say Hello

Illustrated by Michael Foreman

A strikingly illustrated picture book with a strong anti-bullying message, from a father-and-son team.

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: "When someone's feeling left out, low, it doesn't take much to say...'Hello!'"

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

About the author

Jack Foreman originally wrote this poem, based on a real childhood experience, when he was ten years old. It wasn't until many years later that he showed it to his father, and it became the picture book, "Say Hello".
