Time to Say Bye-Bye: Hora de Dizer Tchau-Tchau : Babl Children's Books in Portuguese and English (Portuguese Edition) Paperback – March 30, 2016
Purchase options and add-ons
Babl Children's Books in Portuguese and English
A perfect picture book for toddlers on the go! All toddlers live by the pleasure principle; for them, fun times always end too soon. Often, they’ll either turn a deaf ear to the words ""It's time to say bye-bye"" or simply throw a tantrum. What is the solution? In this warm-hearted picture book, Maryann Cocca-Leffler follows a toddler from morning to bedtime, showing that all saying ""bye-bye"" to something really means is that you're ready to say ""hello"" to the next fun thing in your busy day! With a bare minimum of words and playful artwork, this is one of those rare read-alouds perfect for very young children.

""So effective is the delivery here that parents may find themselves saying bye-bye to things they'd never imagined talking to."" - Kirkus
""The appropriately short text captures the rhythm of the child's day ... Bright and sunny, the mixed-media illustrations create an appealing world full of recognizable things."" - Booklist

About the author

Maryann Cocca-Leffler is an award-winning author and illustrator of over 70 books for children.
Maryann’s inspiration comes from all around her; children, family, school visits, current news and the people she meets along the way. Some new books are “Marabella’s Moment” which inspires children to notice the world around them, and “Don’t Ask Cat”, a humorous lesson about knowing when to keep your words to yourself. Other recent picture books include; “The Power of YET “inspired by the ‘power of yet’ growth mindset and “Theo’s Mood”, a book about feelings.
Her New England roots established the setting for many picture books, including “Clams All Year” and “Bus Route to Boston”, as well as her debut middle grade mystery novel, “Heart Stones”, which is set on the coast of Maine. “Thanksgiving at the Tappletons” (written by Eileen Spinelli) is a treasured family classic.
Maryann’s disability rights advocacy has inspired the award-winning books; “We Want to Go to School! The Fight for Disability Rights”, co-authored with her daughter, Janine Leffler, who was also the inspiration for the picture book “Janine.” Maryann’s book “Fighting for YES! The Story of Disability Rights Activist Judith Heumann” won the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) 2023 Honor Book Award, is a Junior Library Guild Gold Selection, and winner of the Maine Literary Award.
Maryann is happy to announce that her very popular books, “Wednesday is Spaghetti Day,” (first published in 1990 and Mr. Tanen’s Ties (’99) and Mr. Tanen’s Tie Trouble (’03) are now back in print directly through Amazon.
Maryann grew up in the Boston area and has a degree in illustration from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She enjoys visiting schools to promote literacy and share her books with children.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2023Cute story, beautiful illustration. It is simple enough for babies and young toddlers to follow it. It was my kid's favorite for a long time!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2013I love the books by this author, though maybe I enjoy it more than my children. We also have a ton of books, so some get over looked for awhile. The simple story and illustrations are very nice. It's a paperback. I wish they made Maryann Cocca-Leffler's books as board books. We also have "Let it Fall," "Let it Snow," and just ordered "Let it Rain."
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2015Exactly what I wanted! This book teaches kids to deal with change and separation by saying "bye-bye" to everything and everyone... or "night-night." Perfect way to teach kids that even though you are enjoying something right now, its time to say bye-bye and move on to the next thing. I only wish this book was offered in a board book.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2019Really nice book. Bought for my daughter who just turned 3. Illustrations are fun and easy to understand.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2012I bought it for the message for little ones - stopping from your play, saying bye to grandpa, having to go to bed, etc. are sometimes a struggle! Illustrations are sweet and the message is gotten across very well.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2012My baby loves this story for bed time. It has the right amount of pages to make it a good read and keep your baby engaged. My baby now says night night after reading this book. I definitely recommend it.
