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

  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!

Summer is the perfect time to get outside and look for birds and their nests. What kind of nest building materials might you find in your neighborhood? Read The Nest that Wren Built by Randi Sonenshine, illustrated by Anne Hunter, then go exploring to find nest materials of your own.
