The First-Day Flutters: A Soothing Bedtime Story to Calm Nerves and Turn Worries Into Excitement

Tomorrow is the big first day - and Mira can't sleep. The night before her first day at a new school, nervous little grey Flutters wake up in Mira's tummy. The more she worries, the more they swarm. Then Lumo, her glowing windowsill friend, shares his warmest secret: nervous and excited feel exactly the same inside - and flutters can learn to glow. Name it. Breathe it. Let them shine - and watch each nervous Flutter turn into a bright, golden, ready-for-tomorrow butterfly. A soothing, rhyming bedtime story for the night before any big new day: a new school, a new sibling, a move, a doctor visit. Children learn they can be scared AND brave at the same time. Inside this book: a gentle rhyming story that ends calm and ready; the "Name it, Breathe it, Let them shine" ritual for the night before anything new; the nervous-can-become-excited reframe counselors love; soft, painterly art - cozy, never scary; and "For Grown-Ups: Calming the First-Day Flutters" with a word-for-word night-before script. Book 3 of the Lumo Bedtime Books - one big feeling per book. Perfect for ages 3-7, back-to-school season, bedtime routines, classrooms, and counseling shelves.
