Off to School I Go

The first day of school brings wobbly tummy-butterflies, and your child names them out loud and hops right past them, one brave step at a time. From the ladybug coat hook to the reading corner to the curly red slide, school turns out to be full of things they already love. By home time, your child walks out proud, calm, and excited for tomorrow.

Every first day starts with butterflies. In this warm, chant-along story, your child stars in their very own first school morning: the quiet hallway before the bell, a coat hook with a little painted ladybug just for them, a desk by the window, and one brave step after another. A wooden acorn spins on their backpack zip, a bravery chant grows louder page by page, and the wobbly butterflies slowly turn into excited ones. Photorealistic scenes place your child right inside the story, making this the perfect confidence boost for starting preschool or kindergarten.
