How To Say Hello by Sophie Beer is a bright, inclusive board book that helps little ones learn friendly greetings while respecting personal space. With simple, rhythmic text and cheerful illustrations, it shows children that saying hello can look like a smile, a wave, a high five—or simply giving someone room when they’re not up for a hug.

Along the way, readers will spot a wonderful mix of families, cultures and community moments that feel true to modern Australian life.
Perfect for 0–3s, rainbow families, and anyone after a thoughtful baby shower gift that will actually get read on repeat.
Add it to your board book shelf and let your little reader discover new ways to connect.
