Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1—A girl wearing a red scarf greets a nippy late summer morning. The child wanders through woods, by a creek, and across farmland and finally arrives in town, encountering all sorts of flora and fauna along the way. She greets everyone in a friendly tone, saying hello to trees, blue jays, foxes, distant thunder, breezy wind, and the approaching chill in the air. In the end, returning home, it's "Goodbye, summer…Hello autumn!" Short sentences are positioned over the pictures. The spare text and muted watercolor illustrations blend perfectly to create a feeling of wonder at the change of seasons. This is an upbeat look at the promise of fall's glories. VERDICT A gentle, gorgeous welcome to summer's end and fall's beginning, perfect for storytime or one-on-one reading.—Anne Chapman Callaghan, Racine Public Library, WI

Review

"Pak’s well-executed first appearance as both author and illustrator offers a warm welcome to fall." ―The Horn Book, starred review

"A gentle, gorgeous welcome to summer’s end and fall’s beginning, perfect for storytime or one-on-one reading." ―School Library Journal

"A visual success conjuring up the best about the seasons’ changes." ―Kirkus Reviews

"The focus is on the natural world, but Pak (Flowers Are Calling) celebrates city life, too, with drawings of diverse townspeople . . . that show a rainbow of a community. It’s a thoughtful look at the kind of change that unfolds almost imperceptibly." ―Publishers Weekly

    I love this book’s illustrations and mood, and my son really loves it too! He’s 3 and really understood the concept of summer turning to fall because of this book! He kept asking “is it autumn day yet?” and really notices trees changing color etc. now. It’s simple enough for his age, but has more detail and depth than a lot of children’s books. Beautifully done!

    I absolutely love the changing seasons from summer into fall. GOODBYE SUMMER, HELLO AUTUMN captures some of the things I love about the changing of the seasons, perfectly. Both in story telling, and vivid fall colored illustrations, Pak helps readers understand the changing of the warm summer days, into the chilly shorter fall days.

    Joining the young girl on her walk from her house, through the woods and country, and into her small town, and back again, readers see how nature prepares itself for the change from summer to autumn. As the girl welcomes the changes, she's greeted by nature, who tells her of each change. From the fox getting ready to hibernate, to the last of the summer flowers, to the chilly wind, everything has a purpose.

    With bright colorful changes on the trees, flowers and leaves, to the animals and bugs making preparations for cooler weather, readers see how everything gets ready for fall. This is a delightful story with charming illustrations. I love the diverse characters featured in this book, and all the details featured in each of the pages of this book. This book is perfect for curling up with on a cooler fall day.

    As an artist, I look for amazing illustrations. As a former elementary teacher, I look for books with simple yet captivating words. This gem does both so well! I love the repetition (which I’m normally not a fan of) and the way it prepares us for change. There’s not really much of a story line but it’s enjoyable for any age.
