This concept is termed narrative medicine and has received increasing attention over the last decade. The stories published by Printing for Life are meant to connect the author and the reader, as well as the illustrator and editorial staff and to remind each one of their own life and purpose.

Review Quotes: Not just bye' is a beautifully illustrated and touching story that acknowledges and validates one of the challenges that children face: It is hard to say good-bye to loved ones and fun times. It is written from a child's perspective and is simple to understand; for example, it explains what a 'toast' is. Young children are just learning life coping skills and I believe that this book recognizes the difficulty of facing good-byes and also offers solutions to dealing with the same. This, in turn, will educate children in problem-solving in other areas of life.
