A lively and relatable picture book about first day of school nerves that encourages young readers to celebrate new experiences and the big buddies they're sure to make along the way.
It's the first day of school and everywhere our small hero looks there are big kids! Big kids are shouting, playing, and high-fiving each other. Big kids are crowding the halls and hanging out on the playground. It all feels a bit overwhelming. And since it's Buddy Day, the big kids are pairing off with little kids. But maybe having a big buddy won't be so bad-he shows him where to find his classroom and where to hang his coat. He even uses his big kid arms to reach the chocolate pudding! Maybe big kids aren't so scary after all?
With K. L. Going's insightful text and Reggie Brown's energetic art, this perfect back-to-school read shines humor and empathy on that intimidating feeling every kid experiences starting at a new school!
