A Hello, Goodbye Story Time for the New Year and Beyond

on
  Today I’d like to share a book about goodbyes and hellos, endings and beginnings.  Goodbye, Friend! Hello, Friend!  by Cori Doerrfeld is primarily about a friendship, which begins with a “hello” and continues through lots of experiences, including a sad “goodbye.” But it’s also about enjoying different, sometimes new experiences while they last. I found this story very relatable, as my inner child read it thinking of all of the hellos and goodbyes from my own childhood as a military brat.  Continue reading for more about this book and some story time ideas to pair with this charming story. Plus some more books featuring hellos and goodbyes!

Story Time Graphic: THE GIANT OF JUM

on


Every Monday here at Read, Discuss, Do! you'll find a graphic like this one that features a discussion and activity idea for a specific book. This week is the Giant of Jum by Elli Woollard, illustrated by Benji Davies, which is both hilarious and heartwarming (and one of Rebecca's absolute favorites). Also...there's cake! What goes better with ice cream (this week's summer challenge them) than cake?

Feel free to save this graphic and/or share it to social media along with pictures or posts of your story time. Be sure to use the hashtag #ReadDiscussDo when sharing.
