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: RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE

 
In keeping with the Tasty Treats theme of Week One of the Summer Challenge, here's a story time all about food! Read Right this Very Minute: A Table-to-Farm Book about Food and Farming by Lisl H. Detlefsen, illustrated by Renée Kurilla. Talk about farming and gardening, then choose a meal or treat from the book to make for (or with) your friends or family.
