I have often looked for a book that will help my children and I and their friends adjust to a friend moving away. Being in the Navy for five years and living in the transient world that we do we've had to say goodbye so many times to our friends. It is always so hard. Ira Says Goodbye touched my kids and me. It covered all the emotions everyone feels when a special neighbor and friend has to leave (or we do). My three and four year olds and I really enjoy reading Ira Says Goodbye. It is very sweet and I am ordering two more for far-away friends.

We got this book for our granddaughters when they moved to Texas. This book helped us with some of the feelings we were all feeling about leaving friends and family. I would recommend it to anyone. It is great for adults too. We also loved Ira Sleeps Over.....

This is a wonderful story for any & every child who has been faced with the trauma of seeing their best friend move away to a far distant place or having to move away themselves. It is vivid in describing the feelings that have to be endured & also offers hope & consolatiion.
