Some feelings are so big, that one word just doesn’t cut it.
It’s the first day of school for Afua! There’s no one word to name her feelings. Is she scared? Excited? Oh wait, she’s scarecited! Her own combination of both. Why should she have to choose?
'Flute' is fly cute. 'Shurious' is shy curious. And of course, 'hangry' is hungry angry.
As Afua navigates the highs and lows of her first day, she realises the possibilities are endless!
SCARECITED ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL is a vibrant and fresh picture book that reminds us all that having the courage to be our authentic self is always just enough, and you can feel more than one big emotion at the same time. If there isn't already a word to describe how you feel, you can make it up yourself!
