Help your child feel ready, reassured, and excited for the first day of school.

My First Day of School: There Is a Place for Me is a heartwarming children's picture book about bravery, friendship, belonging, and taking the first steps into something new.

The night before school begins, Maya wonders what her classroom will be like, who she will meet, and whether there will be a place for her. With encouragement from Mommy, a welcoming teacher, and a kind new friend named Zoe, Maya discovers that her new classroom is filled with places waiting just for her.

There is a hook for her backpack, a chair at the table, a spot in the classroom circle, and room for her questions, ideas, feelings, and mistakes. As Maya moves through learning time, story time, art, lunch, and recess, her first-day nerves slowly turn into confidence, happiness, and a growing sense of belonging.

Created for children ages 4 to 8, this reassuring back-to-school story helps young readers understand that:

• Feeling nervous about school is normal
