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!

A book list featuring SEEDS and and a bookish art project

 


Spring is upon us, and that has us thinking about seeds! In this week's newsletter we share a list of books about seeds, featuring Eric Carle's The Tiny Seed. And we've also got a fun art project too, inspired by that same book!


Read our latest post on Substack for the full list and instructions for making this Eric Carle-inspired flower collage.

Happy Spring!
