A new school can feel enormous-especially when your tummy is full of butterflies.
Mia is nervous about her first day. Will her teacher be kind? Will she make a friend? Will she be brave enough to speak?
With a little paper heart in her pocket and one small promise to herself, Mia walks through the big blue doors. Along the way, she discovers that courage can begin with a tiny wave, a quiet answer, or a kind invitation.
Mia's Brave First Day is a warm, beautifully illustrated story that helps children understand that being brave does not mean never feeling nervous. It means taking one small step even when you do.
Perfect for:
- Children starting school or entering a new classroom
- Helping young readers manage nervous feelings
- Classroom and bedtime read-alouds
- Social-emotional learning activities
- Encouraging kindness, confidence, and friendship
Includes a discussion prompt for grown-ups and a "My Brave Step" activity for children.
