Reach for this book when your child is stalling at the front door or expressing deep anxiety about the 'unknowns' of a new school year. The School Trip follows Davy, a young boy who decides that if he cannot face the big school building, he will simply build his own school on wheels. This whimsical story validates a child's desire for autonomy while showing how their unique talents can actually make them a leader among peers. It is an ideal pick for ages 4 to 8, especially for children who process big life changes through building, creating, or 'fixing' problems. By centering Davy's ingenuity rather than his fear, the book transforms a scary milestone into an empowering adventure, helping parents open a dialogue about making school their own.
