In my How To Self-Publish a Children’s Book, I shared a link to a side with a wonderful list of Children’s Book Story Endings & Story Closings. But with the ever-changing web and its links, it is no longer available, so I wanted to make sure to also share my own favorite ending lines right here. Hopefully, they will get your own creative juices going.

- And that’s the way my grandma told me.
- What a day that was!
- What a story that was!
- …before it disappeared completely.
- It was all just a dream. Or was it?
- In fact, if I hadn’t been there myself, I never would have believed it.
- And I remember it to this day.
- And they ate and drank, and were merry and of good cheer, …
- They feasted and they drank, and if the story hadn’t ended there, I’d still be with them instead of here talking to you.
- And they never did that again.
- And if she could, she’d do it again!
- And the last person to tell that story…. is standing here before you!
