Little Mae’s got the worst case of first day jitters in the history of first days of school. She flat out IS. NOT. GOING. It’s up to Mae’s very understanding and creative teacher to allay Mae’s fears and she does so in a pretty brilliant way. Let’s hear it for amazing teachers...and that unforgettably nervous but magical energy of the first day of school. We highly recommend Mae’s story for any reluctant kids who might need a little laugh and easing of nerves before their momentous first day.
Mae’s First Day of School was written and illustrated by Kate Berube and published by Abrams Books for Young Readers.
