A book that gives courage for the first day of school

When the new feels big

The first day of school is one of the big steps. Many children look forward to it and are nervous at the same time. A story where the child walks through the school door, says hello to the teacher and finds a new friend makes the unknown a little more familiar. Choose the message courage or friendship, and tell us about the school, the class or what the child is worried about, and it is taken up in a way that suits the child's age.

Themes that give courage

Choose the Starting school theme, a theme about confidence or a book idea such as First Day at School.

A book to read yourself

For children who are starting to read, the book can become one of the first they read on their own. Choose the age 6–9, and the text is written with a little dialogue and a challenge the child can manage. See the prices for the eBook and the hardback book.

A memory of the big step

Write in the foreword what you wish for the child in the school years. In a few years the book is a memory of what it was like to be five or six and stand at the school gate for the first time.
