Do you have a young child about ready to start Kindergarten? If so, you’re likely doing some preparation for the upcoming school year by talking to your child about what to expect.
Picture book stories help normalize the experience of starting school. Stories also allow children to process big feelings such as fear, anxiety, and excitement before the big day.
