First Day, Hooray! by June Sobel

There's a lot to check off on the back-to-school list.

Lunchbox? Check. Notebook? Paper? Glue stick? Check. Check. Check. But school supplies aren't the only thing we bring with us.

We also bring along our FEELINGS!

A back-to-school picture book about the importance of acknowledging your feelings and using them as tools for navigating new experiences. 

Follow along as a class of young children learns to identify and process their feelings on the first day of school.

Critical Praise

• A validating and comforting look at big emotions. — Kirkus Reviews
• This is a great title for sharing with children to encourage vocalization of feelings, especially those related to the experience of going to school for the first time. — School Library Journal (starred review)
