I suspect that the first day of kindergarten is probably an emotional milestone moment for most kids! I really enjoyed this illustrated story, and I hope many other readers get a chance to read it too! Thanks for the kind words of support. 📖🌞

I think the idea with different font colors, to highlight different statements, is just great. Thanks for the good review.

All of the dialogue felt very candid, genuine, and relatable, so I think many young readers could benefit from the experiences depicted and described in this creatively illustrated book! Thank you for your kind comment. 📚🎒

I was surprised to see a picture of an actual girl superimposed onto the illustrated background on the cover. That is a clever design: it feels like it is stimulating both sides of your brain at the same time :brain:

Dr. Ruddiman offers sage advice indeed: “Just be yourself, kind and friendly and fun!” We all should remember this every day.
Thank you for your descriptive review!

Thank you for your descriptive review!
The unique photo illustrations definitely gave this one a captivating quality! They provided a sort of dreamy surrealism that helped the dialogue seem that much more relatable. Needless to say, Dr. Ruddiman did a fabulous job with this one, and I hope many little minds get the chance to read it! Thank you, sweet friend. 🍎

The first day of school is the memorable one in all of our lives. I loved how Cara's mother motivated her to be friendly with others. Saying these words will thrive positive energy into them.

You’re right! It’s such an incredibly memorable day, and her mom’s motivational words of patient understanding really helped Cara be all she could be. Thank you for the sweet words of support! ⭐️
