Nico's stomach is full of butterflies - today is the first day of school. Then Luna helps him find the golden compass, and an adventure begins. Together they discover something every nervous child needs to hear: everyone starts somewhere. A warm, gently magical picture book about courage, new beginnings, and the butterflies we all carry. The first book in the Nico and Luna series - bilingual stories that celebrate childhood, courage and the magic of discovery. Warm, gentle, and deeply reassuring, The First Day tells children the truth: everyone starts somewhere. Courage isn't the absence of butterflies. It's picking up your backpack anyway.
