Goodbye, Hello
A Going Home Travel Adventure
Journey with a young family across the globe, on busy highways and through crowded airports, with luggage, gear and toys in tow, to return home overseas to reunite with their special sailor.
“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
Bus Stop
In the spirit of The Snowy Day, kids from Antoine to Mahmoud to Zoey arrive at the bus stop only to discover that the bus is a no-show—snow day!
Simple, snowy fun with a vocabulary-building boost. — Kirkus Reviews
Watkins’s spare mixed-media illustrations … work hand-in-hand with Dale’s energetic poetry as the book builds to the expected but no less jubilant explanation for the missing bus. — Publishers Weekly
