Publisher's Synopsis
This uplifting, diverse picture book celebrates the first day of school and the many activities that are shared on this special day.
Starting a new school year brings a variety of emotions for children, especially if it's their first time experiencing formal schooling. We're Going to School presents a day in the life of several children from diverse backgrounds, who engage in many of the same activities on this special day-the sometimes chaotic preparation to get dressed, have breakfast, and leave the house on time; the experience of meeting new teachers and new friends, and learning new classroom rules; and the fun and satisfaction of completing a task correctly. Children will be reminded and reassured that even though new experiences can be scary sometimes, they soon become familiar occurrences, which paves the way for enjoyment.
