Reviews

"Author N.D. Byma reached right into my being and touched my soul with his children’s book, It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You Soon. In only twenty-six beautifully illustrated pages, the author managed to make me cry quite quickly and that’s somewhat difficult. When I first saw the title, I had a feeling that this book was really something quite special, and it was. But it was even more special than I expected it to be."

- Readers' Favorite Review—It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You Soon

"Parents will enjoy reading this book to their child, and children will want to read this book over and over again. The book teaches that you should never give up. I would definitely recommend this book to young readers."

- *Readers' Favorite Review—**The Rock that Rolled Across the Ocean*

“This short story brilliantly demonstrates how the strong bonds of friendship allow each individual to feel respected and understood.”
