Reach for this book when your child is facing the daunting transition to a new school environment and needs reassurance that they are expected and wanted. It shifts the focus from the child's internal anxiety to the external community of people who are eagerly preparing for their arrival. This perspective shift helps demystify the school day by introducing specific roles like teachers, bus drivers, and librarians. Through gentle, rhyming text and inclusive illustrations, the book frames the school as a place of belonging and joy. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and kindergartners who are preoccupied with the 'unknowns' of their new daily routine. By the final page, the message is clear: school is a community that is not complete until your child arrives.
