Gentle lessons

First day of school

New classroom, new faces, new pegs for coats. A gentle rehearsal for the big day, with a friend who comes along in spirit.

How the story handles it

The child is starting school or nursery. Walk through the day gently: saying goodbye, finding their peg, making a friend, story time, being collected. Emphasise that grown-ups always come back. Calm and reassuring.

What makes it theirs

Your child is the hero, by name, on every page — with their favourite animal beside them, drawn to look like them if you tell us how, and with any little details you add: a sibling, a pet, a favourite blanket. Every book is written fresh; no two are the same.
