Hello, Duncan

By: Johnson, Nelvin

Aria says hello to everyone she meets. So when she notices a man the whole city walks past, she does the simplest, bravest thing of all. She stops, and she says hello.

His name is Duncan. Over many small visits, with a question, a smile, and a shared story, a friendship grows that changes them both, and quietly changes the whole street around them.

Hello, Duncan is a warm, gentle picture book about kindness, dignity, and the quiet power of really seeing the people we tend to walk past. Perfect for reading aloud with children ages 5 to 9, it opens big-hearted conversations at home or in the classroom about compassion, community, and how the smallest gesture, a simple "hello," can change everything.
