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!

Story Time Idea: TEENY TINY TOADY


 Read the brilliant and charming rhyming picture book Teeny Tiny Toady by Jill Esbaum, illustrated by Keika Yamaguchi, talk about creative problem solving, and design a kite of your own.
