Wake up, little Nic. It's your very first day!

A great resource for helping kids through the anxiety and excitement of starting school.
This book is perfect for:
- sharing with kids who are starting school or daycare
- celebrating uniqueness, and all the wonderful ways that kids are different to each other
- normalising feelings of nervousness or anxiety, and finding strategies to help
