It is the unforgettable day—who among us does not remember the first day of school? Some of us awaited it eagerly, while others feared it and wished it would never come. Help your child prepare for that day, or revisit their memories of it, with this lovely book as we follow Shady and his friends through all its worry, fear, excitement, and anticipation. We watch Shady build new relationships with friends and a kind teacher, and discover with him a new place full of enjoyable and useful things.
