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 pritable 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 for children. The illustatrations are magical, and allow the reader to really feel each season 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.
