THE BESTSELLING KIDS PICTURE BOOK: Calm first day of school anxiety with this classic back to school book that reminds students K-3 that everyone gets the jitters!
Ink-and-watercolor illustrations and a "funny and insightful" story make this a teacher-approved classroom read aloud (Booklist)!
Sarah Jane Hartwell has that sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach-she's nervous and doesn't want to start a new school year. She doesn't know anybody, and nobody knows her. It will be awful. She just knows it.
With a little convincing from Mr. Hartwell, Sarah Jane reluctantly heads to class. Shy at first, she's quickly befriended by Mrs. Burton and is reminded that everyone at school gets the jitters sometimes.
A beloved and bestselling back to school picture book, Sarah Jane's relatable story and surprise ending will delight kindergarteners, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders who are anxious about their first day of school.
Includes a Certificate of Courage for First Day Completion and a First Day Memories Sheet!
