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!

Storytime Idea: BOATS FOR PAPA

 

This week's Summer Challenge theme is "Setting Sail," and the book Boats for Papa by Jessixa Bagley is a perfect addition to list of books about boats! You and your young readers will love this charming, heartwarming story about a young beaver who sends a series of hand made boats out to sea in hopes that they will reach his much-missed papa.
