Customer Reviews

A good book for first day of school.

This book was recommended to me as I was having mixed feelings about my daughter's first day of kindergarten. The text isn't extraordinary, but the pictures and story give parents a conversation to start about going to school. It illustrates that while your child is at school and you are at work---you each think about each other all day long. It hits an emotional issue of "letting go" and our children growing up for that big step at age 5 or 6---going to school. It's also appropriate for older children and first day of school at any grade.
