About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is preparing for the major milestone of riding the school bus for the first time or if they have shown anxiety about the logistics of the school day. It is a practical and supportive resource designed to demystify the rules of the road and the etiquette of shared transport. By breaking down the process into clear, manageable steps, it helps replace fear of the unknown with a sense of mastery and routine. Raatma focuses on the core themes of patience, safety, and respect for authority figures like the bus driver. The book is perfectly calibrated for children ages 4 to 7, using accessible language and realistic scenarios to model positive behavior. Parents will appreciate how it frames safety rules not as restrictions, but as ways to be a big kid and a helpful member of the school community.
