This book is perfect for advanced 6 year olds and lower key stage 2 children who want to enjoy a picture book that still challenges their reading skills. It's a great book for parents of younger children to sit and read together. The illustrations have been lovingly put together by hand. With twenty six years in teaching and from her own experiences, Katerina knows first hand what it's like to feel nervous when first starting school or starting a new school. This book will help children realise that they are not alone. The feelings in the pit of their stomach are feelings that a lot of children experience when facing the unknown. What will the school be like? Will I like my teacher? Will I make friends? All very important questions going round and round in a child's head. Sitting down and reading about Junipo, who is also facing the same first day emotions might help ease the queasy, unsettling feeling of starting school or going to a new school. With a little magic attached, of course.
