Description

It’s time to go to school, but Flora isn’t ready to say goodbye!

 

Flora wants to go to school, but saying goodbye in the morning is harder than it sounds. Luckily she has a goodbye ritual with rhyming nicknames that gives her the strength to separate and head into school.

See You Later, Alligator! is an upbeat and lighthearted take on a very real anxiety faced by kids everywhere, every day. Infused with positivity and a growth mindset, this book is a perfect tale for that back-to-school moment, helping little ones build resilience and overcome their worry.

NOÉMIE GIONET LANDRY a grandi dans une petite ville côtière du Nouveau-Brunswick, entourée par l’océan. En grandissant, elle voulait devenir médecin ou illustratrice de livres pour enfants. Durant ses études en médecine, elle a décidé de faire les deux. Aujourd’hui, elle partage son temps entre l’hôpital (où elle travaille comme rhumatologue) et son studio à domicile, où elle dessine et peint, entourée de sa femme, de son fils, de deux minuscules chihuahuas et de deux chats.

 

NOÉMIE GIONET LANDRY grew up in a small coastal town in New Brunswick, surrounded by the ocean. Growing up, she said she wanted to become either a doctor or a children’s book illustrator. Midway through medical school, she decided she would do both. She now shares her time between the hospital (where she works as a rheumatologist) and her home studio, where she sketches, draws and paints surrounded by her wife, son, two tiny Chihuahuas and two cats.
