Reach for this book when your child is facing a brand new experience, like the first day of school, and needs to see that even the biggest worries can be overcome with a little help from a friend. Splat is a fuzzy, wide-eyed cat who is absolutely terrified of his first day at Cat School. He tries every trick in the book to stay home, from hiding under the covers to clinging to a gate post. Accompanied by his secret pet mouse, Seymour, Splat eventually discovers that school isn't just about learning cat facts: it is about finding your place. This story beautifully normalizes the physical and emotional symptoms of anxiety while using humor to show that things are rarely as scary as we imagine them to be. It is a perfect choice for preschool and early elementary children who need a gentle, funny nudge toward independence.
