Starting school is exciting... but also a little bit scary.
In this beautifully illustrated picture book, young readers meet Nuha, a spirited toddler who is finally old enough for school - and suddenly realises she isn't sure she's ready.
From the moment she gets ready for school to the butterflies in her tummy at the school gate, Nuha's First Day At School gently captures the very real emotions children feel when faced with new routines, new places, and new people.
With lyrical storytelling and soft, expressive watercolour illustrations, this reassuring book helps children:
✨ Understand and name their big feelings
✨ Feel braver about new experiences
✨ Talk about their own first-day worries
✨ See school as a warm, welcoming place
Perfect for ages 3 to 7, this book opens up conversations at home and in classrooms-especially for little ones who are nervous about starting preschool, kindergarten, or Primary 1.
