You Can Say Hi With Only a Smile

You Can Say Hi With Only a Smile Synopsis

Some people say "Hey!" by using their words.
They bellow loudly to greet you.
But others say hi with only a smile
to tell you they're so glad you're here.

There are so many ways that people communicate! And we probably have different styles than lots of our family and friends. Some love to run up and talk to new people right away; some prefer to hang back and let others approach them. Some look people right in the eye, and some prefer to focus somewhere else.

Some people love to shake hands or hug, and others may prefer not to touch. Every person is unique, and the ways we communicate are unique too. The way we talk to new people may be different from the way we talk to family and friends. Or maybe it even changes day to day! However we communicate, it's all okay. You can say hi however you want!

An uplifting and inclusive celebration of all the different ways that people might communicate, whether it's speaking, waving, signing, body language, device-assisted, or more. Includes a Note to Readers.
