I Don't Want to Go to School!

This sensitive book will help kid and parents talk about this big step and transition to being apart during the day--and maybe even have fun at school!

Going to school can be a really big deal to a little kid. New routine, new friends, new places, and new faces can be a lot to handle at first! It's hard for kids to handle that transition and see that school might be fun and that their parent will always come back. Includes a Reader's Note to further explain this common behavioral and emotional stage of childhood.

The new Big Little Talks series offers unique call-and-response stories: kids vocalize their frustrations and fears, and an omnipresent grown-up offers reassuring messages to ease their concerns. Written by experts in the field, this is a must-have series to help kids.
