Going to school can be a really big deal to a little kid. New routines, new friends, new places, and new faces can be a lot to handle at first!

It’s hard for kids to handle that transition and see that school might be fun and that their parent will always come back. This sensitive book will help kid and parents talk about this big step and transition to being apart during the day—and maybe even have fun at school!
