It's the first day of school! You can read along and see how the actual school feels about the children, teachers and community coming back.

Though this book is several years old, I think it's a wonderful way to get ready for every new school year, not matter what the circumstances. A wonderful way to talk about our hesitations about going, alongside the sheer excitement of the all the hope and wonder that a new school year can bring.

We've made a VIRTUAL CLASS inspired by this book! Read the book + and then purchase a class to do at home together!”
