First Day, Hooray!: A Heartwarming Picture Book About Feelings and Big Milestones (Hardcover)

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

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 things we bring with us—we also bring along our FEELINGS!

Follow along as a class of young children learns to identify and process the wide array of emotions they meet on the first day of school. Say "hello" to HAPPY, soothe ANGER, jump with EXCITED, and shout HOORAY when a fun day comes to an end. From the author of the bestselling The Goodnight Train, this rhyming story encourages readers to observe and name their feelings to use them to their advantage.

First Day, Hooray! provides the essential tools needed for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) both in and outside the classroom. It is an ideal read for rising kindergarteners, perfect for sharing leading up to the first day of school or anytime a child is facing a big change. Includes a special back matter note from an educator to guide teachers and caregivers in encouraging emotional literacy.

The perfect milestone gift for the little student in your life. Help them pack their emotional toolkit and get ready for a great year!
