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.
