Little Tiger and the Brave Goodbye

English · Illustrated preschool story · 32 pages

Little Tiger and the Brave Goodbye by Salvatore Pisano is a read-aloud story about missing Mom when starting preschool. Little Tiger brings his bear, meets Ms. Willow and wishes Mom could stay. A hug, a paw squeeze and a wave become their familiar goodbye.

What happens while Mom is away?

Ms. Willow stays close as Little Tiger watches the other children, joins a squirrel in a block-and-bus game and talks about missing Mom at snack time. The story makes room for enjoying play and still wanting someone you love.

What activities follow the story?

Four optional activities invite children to order the day’s events, recognize feelings, identify helpful grown-ups and color a goodbye hug. A page for caregivers includes three questions and ideas for agreeing on a short goodbye.

How can families use it before preschool?

Read together and discuss who will care for the child and when the grown-up will return, using a familiar part of the actual day. Children can point, talk or color; the book leaves room for another hug and new feelings on another morning.
