The reader might expect a sad outcome from the scene about a “first goodbye” featuring a little girl and her dog, but the only farewell is to their unruly hair when they get matching haircuts!

This delightfully poetic picture book explores life’s many small but profoundly significant first experiences, each worthy of celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Written by Émilie Chazerand; Illustrated by Amandine Piu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45346449621174,"sku":"9781419795084","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0610\/7830\/files\/9781419795084.jpg?v=1786350571","url":"https:\/\/store.abramsbooks.com\/products\/the-very-first-time-a-die-cut-peek-through-picture-book","provider":"Abrams Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
