Squiggles the Robot: First Day of School (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798993840710)

A Heartwarming First-Day-of-School Story About Courage, Inclusion, and New Beginnings

Meet Squiggles Spark-a friendly young robot who rolls into his first day of school with excitement, curiosity, and a few butterflies in his robot belly. With his backwards cap, bright blue glasses, and wheels on his feet, Squiggles discovers what it means to be brave, make friends, and try something new.

He's joined by Gizmo, his loyal pet bot, and Chip, his helpful hologram companion who offers support when Squiggles needs it most.

In Ms. Tinker's welcoming classroom, Squiggles meets a diverse group of classmates-including Maya, the thoughtful problem solver; Nelly, the nature lover; and Mario, a kind friend always ready to lend a hand. Together, they show Squiggles that new beginnings feel less scary when you have support by your side.

Filled with vibrant illustrations, gentle humor, and inclusive representation, Squiggles the Robot: First Day of School helps children navigate big feelings with confidence and kindness.
