Book Band: Orange (Ideal for ages 5+)

A warm and inclusive rhyming story about the start of the school year, ideal for children practising their reading at home or in school. From the creators of the picture book, All Are Welcome.

It's the start of the school year and everyone is ready to go... though with a touch of nervousness too. Join the class as they navigate the first day back and celebrate the year ahead.

This joyful book from New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Penfold is perfect for Key Stage 1 (KS1) children who are learning to read by themselves. With heart-warming illustrations from Suzanne Kaufman, it explores themes of school and diversity.
