"Author Angela H. Dale (Bus Stop) and artist Daniel Wiseman (When Your Llama Needs a Haircut) infuse a weighty topic with charm and joy... [and] warmly celebrate a very special, very inclusive family reunion in their welcoming picture book, Goodbye, Hello."

— Shelf Awareness

"An engaging and heartwarming depiction of a military family’s reunion.... Brisk two-beat alternately rhyming lines whisk readers along.... Repeat trips through the pages are guaranteed by the numerous details to pore over....

Armchair travelers, first-time fliers, and airport habitués will buckle up willingly for this vicarious voyage."

— Kirkus Reviews

"Staccato phrases by Dale convey the trip’s beats, taking readers through airport-related transit and queues, an overnight flight, and more until the three arrive in Japan and join a crowd to celebrate the arrival of a large docking ship..."
