A Little About Bobby’s First Day
When third-grade homeschool student Bobby walks through the doors of a public elementary school for the very first time, he expects to be afraid. What he finds instead changes everything.
Bobby's First Day is a vibrant, beautifully illustrated story about a child who discovers that curiosity, kindness, and an open heart can turn the scariest day into one of the best. It is a book about belonging. It was written for every child who has ever needed to see themselves reflected in a story.
