Goodbye, Hello - seasons PICTURE Book Series by Kenard Pak
Kenard Pak’s Goodbye, Hello picture books about seasonal change are perfect for young learners. Extend learning with differentiated activities for Goodbye Summer Hello Autumn, Goodbye Autumn Hello Winter, and Goodbye Winter Hello Spring.
This is one of my very FAVOURITE picture books series! I truly appreciate how simple, yet meaningful and informative the writing is. The illustatrations are magical, and really immerse the reader into each season.
If you’re thinking of add one (or more!) of these books to your collection…this is your sign to go for it!
As a teacher-librarian, I use these books every single year to discuss seasonal change with my students. I created some simple (no-prep) resources to accompany each of these books. I wanted to use them with different grades, so they are differentiated to fit a variety of age levels.
Engaging Follow-Up Activities
These printable resources and worksheets are perfect for reflecting on each book, and engage your students!
All of the following printables are included in ALL of the Goodbye, Hello book companions. (They are also included as black and white copies.)
Headings for your whiteboard to start a class discussion
Drawing templates for younger learners
Writing templates to compare the old and new seasons
Hello template to draw or write about the new season
Headbands to colour and wear! (various designs)

*The Spring/Summer companion will be included when the book is published. I think it’s coming soon, and there is a sneak peak on Kenard Pak’s Instagram account!
Which book is your favourite? I honestly can’t choose! I think they are all so beautiful, and I love how easy they are to share with students each year.
Happy reading!
