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 Idea: CROSSINGS by Katy Duffield

on


A story idea that will complement this week's "wilderness" Summer Challenge theme! Read Crossings: Extraordinary Structures for Extraordinary Animals by Katy Duffield, illustrated by Mike Orodán. Talk about the various structures in the book, and what animal you would choose to protect in this way if you could. Then build your own "crossing" out of blocks or other materials.
