Bad Bye, Good Bye

A young boy is unhappy as his family packs up to move.  The rainy weather matches his mood – it’s all bad, “bad truck, bad guy, bad wave, bad bye”.  As they travel the long distance to their new home, the bad weather disappears and new sights, new experiences, and new towns appear.  Good things begin again.  Jonathan Bean’s ink and Prismacolor tone illustrations beautifully and simply match the emotions with the move.  The rhyming text is large and spare, yet a complete story is told.  Anyone who has moved may identify with this family.
