MILO'S Big ROAR: A First Day of School Book for Kids About Starting School, Feelings, and Making Friends

Is your child nervous about starting school? Milo's Big Roar is here to help. Milo the lion cub has never felt so nervous. His tummy is full of butterflies, his mane will not behave, and tomorrow is his very first day of school. What if he does not make any friends? What if his roar is not loud enough? Every parent knows this moment - the backpack packed the night before, the worried questions at bedtime, the quiet fear a young child cannot always put into words. Milo's Big Roar speaks directly to that feeling, and gently shows children that being nervous does not mean something is wrong. It means something new and exciting is about to happen. This heartwarming picture book answers the questions every child (and parent) asks before a big first day: What if I do not make any friends? What if I miss my mom or dad? Is it normal to feel scared about school? What do I do when my tummy feels funny and nervous? >Through Milo's story, children learn a simple breathing technique to calm big feelings, watch a shy character open up and make real friends, and discover that courage does not mean feeling brave - it means trying anyway. By the final page, Milo finds out his roar was loud enough all along, and so is every child who reads along with him.
