It's difficult to be separated from those we love, and sometimes it's
hard to feel connected when we can't be together in person.
This board book helps fill that need to connect, with a simple message:
I'm still here, even though I'm not right there beside you. A series of
scenarios depicts a narrator employing various forms of
communication—from video calls and letters to dolphin-messengers and
skywriting—to say a simple "hello" to someone far away.
Exploring the idea of connecting over distance, whether it's through a
pane of glass or across a continent, this book delivers its earnest
message in a lighthearted way, engaging children's imaginations in
thinking of delightful new ways to say "hello." The book will remind
them that they are loved by those they can't always see. Instead of
emphasizing what we can't do when we're apart, this book takes a
positive view and makes a game out of finding new ways we can
communicate.
Reassuring and imaginative, this board book fills a growing need to
reach out and connect with one another.
Hello from Here features:
- Timely Topic: Current events have made distanced greetings
a near-universal fact of life
- Timeless Appeal: There are always circumstances that
separate loved ones, and there is always a need for books that help
bridge that separation
- Encourages Creativity: Imaginative means of communication
are mixed with more typical methods, engaging children in the story and
inviting them to add their own ideas on how to stay connected

"How about a story? Spin us a yarn." Instantly, Phoebe Winterbottom came to mind. "I could tell you an extensively strange story," I warned. "Oh, good!" Gram said. "Delicious!" And that is how I happened to tell them about Phoebe, her disappearing mother, and the lunatic.
As Sal entertains her grandparents with Phoebe's outrageous story, her own story begins to unfold--the story of a thirteen-year-old girl whose only wish is to be reunited with her missing mother. In her own award-winning style, Sharon Creech intricately weaves together two tales, one funny, one bittersweet, to create a heartwarming, compelling, and utterly moving story of love, loss, and the complexity of human emotion.
