Hello, School! - by Rosemary Wells (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A heartwarming first-day-of-school story that transforms fear into friendship, showing young readers that even the biggest changes can lead to wonderful new beginnings

In Hello, School! by Rosemary Wells, moving to a new house means starting at a brand-new school--and for Eva, that feels both exciting and scary. With the help of her kind neighbor Milo and a welcoming classroom, Eva explores Sunnyside School--from the library and science lab to music, maker's space, and the playground. By the end of the day, what once felt overwhelming becomes full of possibility, as Eva discovers that the very best part of school is finding new friends.

Review Quotes

"Wells introduces another young feline-one who's anxious about attending a new school-to her throwback world of bipedal animals in cardigans and overalls. . . . Well's world of tenderhearted anthropomorphic animals in soft-edged pastel-heavy settings maintains its power to soothe. . . A comforting, low key first-day-of-school tour."
