Brilliant to help calm those first day nerves - and fun, too!
This is a brilliant, fun read,
Just what children need
When facing the first day of school
And trying to stay being cool!
It shares Louise's first day
What she has to do and say,
Getting ready for the start
And for her to take part.
It has colourful illustrations to share
And talk about with those for whom you care.
A great way to talk through fears
And a hilarious twist - so no more tears!
A great way to get youngsters ready for the new year
To discuss their hopes and what they fear.
A fresh start brought to life in this book
At which I highly recommend you do more than look!

A great book for calming those first day nerves
I can't say enough about the outstanding The first day of school is a daunting and relatable prospect, and Any Redfern's First Day of the New School Year is here to help children face that day with confidence and empathy. The experiences of a former teacher shine through here, offering a perspective that will delight young reading with charming illustrations and a gentle prose that is perfect to be read the night before the big day. This book is a reminder that everyone feels nervous, and that we all face the same challenges, but they can be overcome with a smile and there was never any reason to be worried about the first day of school.

Great read for young children starting school or getting ready for the new year
Read this to my niece who gets nervous for the new school year every year. She loved the message that everyone gets nervous and reading it has definitely made her more excited for the next year. Definitely think we will be rereading it in August when the nerves start again! I would definitely recommend this to parents or anyone with a young child who gets a bit anxious before a scary new year!
