Zoey starts kindergarten this year! She and I are both excited for her to learn new things and meet new friends, but she is also a little hesitant and that’s completely understandable; this is a new experience!
Besides talking about it and offering her my own words of encouragement, I’ve put together a list of 35 books about going to school that we have been reading to help her feel more comfortable with the idea.
