Synopses & Reviews
There& #39; s a lot to do on the first day of school: meet new friends, practice writing, eat lunch, and run around. But it& #39; s not only children who do these things& mdash; parents do, too. This charming story follows the day of a young boy and his working mother. Even though they& #39; re in different places, the soft, lively illustrations show that they& #39; re never far from each other& #39; s thoughts. And when it& #39; s time to go home, they& #39; ll both be ready for a hug and eager to ask, & quot; What did you do today?& quot;
Review
"A unique twist on a familiar theme...lively watercolor illustrations...Anxious first-timers...will find Forward's comforting tale vastly reassuring." KIRKUS Kirkus Reviews
