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!

Jeneczko, illustrated by Chris Raschka, is the perfect book to help you do that with your young budding poets. Read the book and talk about new and/or favorite poetic forms. Then write your own!
