SCARECITED ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
Out Now!
FSG
"...this book is a must-have for both libraries and classrooms. This should be the next great read-aloud."
-School Library Journal (starred review)
Some feelings are so big, one word just doesn’t cut it.
It’s the first day of school for Afua! There’s no one word to name her feelings. Is she scared? Excited? Oh wait, she’s scarecited! Her own combination of both. Why should she have to choose?
Scarecited on the First Day of School is a charming picture book that reminds us all that having the courage to be our authentic self is always just enough, and you can feel more than one big emotion at the same time. But if there isn’t one word to describe those feelings . . . there’s beauty in making it yourself.
