Great Children’s Literature: Hello Hello

Hello Helloby Dan Zanes and illustrated by Donald Saaf is based on Dan Zane’s excellent children’s song by the same name. The text/lyrics are very optimistic, speaking of the potential of each day and ending with a multicultural image and words for hello: konnichiwa, namaste, hallo, bonjour, etc. Hello Hellocomes with a cd, featuring five Dan Zane’s songs. The lyrics and musical notation for each song is included in the back of the book. I truly love this song and book! “Every day brings more than the day before, open any door and say hello hello hello. It’s the same bright sun shines on everyone….” Hello Hellosends the message to love life and its inhabitants, while the whimsical illustrations with fold out pages delight young children.
