Ivy loves books more than anything, but her very first day of school feels a little too big. With a twisty tummy and jittery whiskers, Ivy isn’t sure she’s ready. New room… new toys… new faces. It’s all so much at once. But when Ivy opens a familiar book, something magical happens, her smile comes back. Soon, she discovers a gentle teacher, a new friend named Becca, and a whole day filled with stories, paint, giggles, and courage. This sweet, comforting tale celebrates friendship, first-day feelings, and the way a good book can help even the smallest reader feel brave. A perfect story for little ones starting school, and for anyone who needs a reminder that courage grows one page at a time.
