Description
Ride along in this heartwarming back-to-school picture book about facing the first-day jitters!
The Little Yellow Bus had prepared for this day for a long time. His parents had talked a lot about how great it would be when he heads out to pick up children and drive them to their school building—all by himself! Yellow wanted to feel excited... but he did not. Instead, he was nervous with the first-day jitters, imagining that the day could only go horribly wrong. But, with a little help and encouragement from mum and dad, Little Yellow takes a deep breath, starts his engine, and decides that it's time to prove to himself that he can be brave.
The Little Yellow Bus is the heartwarming reminder that sometimes even the days when we are scared and anxious can become the most wonderful adventure, if we only believe in ourselves. Filled with full-colour illustrations and an inspiring message for kids, this timeless story is one you will want to come back to again and again.
Why readers love The Little Yellow Bus:
Parents, grandparents, and teachers will have fun reading aloud this inspirational, growth-mindset book to kids.
Screen-free fun for children back-to-school and the holiday season.
Perfect back-to-school gift for children ages 4-7.
Ideal holiday gift and stocking stuffer for kids.
