Goodbye
by Nabiha Mheidly
Description
“It’s not because of me… Sometimes, the puzzle pieces just don’t fit and you can’t force them to” Those were the thoughts of a little girl who sought an explanation for her parent’s separation.
After happily living with her parents, the little girl suddenly has her world turned upside down. She is now wandering around each of her mother’s and father’s houses; she is crying each time she has to say goodbye to one of her parents. She is confused. What went wrong? The little girl is blaming herself for this problem. One day, she decided to fight her frustration and to search for happiness again. Along the way and as she was playing puzzle assembly with her friend, the little girl finally realized that it’s not her fault and she no longer felt sad with each “Goodbye”.
This multiple awarded book tackles serious theme that is increasingly present among the youth. You will find the delicate and subtle text well served by the tender illustrations and the change of color pallet before and after separation.

Reviews
“Takam Tikou”
The online review of books and reading for children and young people
“The delicate and subtle text is well served by the tender illustrations of Loujayna al-Assil. The choice of color palette is relevant: after separation, the mother's world takes on ocher shades and that of the father turns to blue hues: a clear materialization of the break. A book that will help tackle a serious theme that is increasingly present in the youth edition of the Arab World.”
