Dad's First Day - A Heartwarming Back-to-School Story
Oliver can't wait for his first day of school, but his dad isn't quite ready! Celebrate the new school year with this fun-filled tale about embracing new experiences--at any age!
Oliver and his dad spent all summer playing together, laughing together, singing together, and reading together. But now it's time for Oliver to start school, and he's so excited! But... his dad isn't. Suddenly, he feels nervous and his tummy hurts. Maybe they should stay home together!
But Oliver isn't convinced. What if the first day is really fun? What if it's the start of an exciting year?
A Story That Captures Mixed Emotions
In this charming story, acclaimed author and illustrator Mike Wohnoutka perfectly captures the mixed emotions felt by kids and their parents during big changes. This hardcover picture book offers a unique twist on the traditional first-day-of-school story by focusing on a parent's separation anxiety rather than the child's.
Perfect for Ages 4-8
This award-winning children's book is ideal for preschoolers and early elementary readers preparing for school transitions. The humorous approach helps families discuss feelings about new experiences while showing that it's okay for parents to feel nervous too.
MIKE WOHNOUTKA is the illustrator of many books including Moo! which received two starred reviews and was chosen as an ALA Notable book and by the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books as a Blue Ribbon selection, Can't Sleep Without Sheep, Just Like My Papa, and Stay Close to Mama. A graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design, Mike lives with his wife and two children in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
