Publisher Description
From the best-selling author of the hugely popular Kindergarten, Here I Come!, here's a guidebook that shows children how to be confident in the new and exciting world of kindergarten.
"This is one to read and reread to calm back-to-school jitters."–Kirkus Reviews
Small enough to fit in a child's backpack, this collection of short poems offers sweet and simple tips on how kids can become their most confident self, from gaining the confidence to try new things to not letting nerves prevent presenting at show-and-tell. Spanning the entire year of kindergarten, this is the perfect companion to D. J. Steinberg's Kindergarten, Here I Come! and How to Be Kind in Kindergarten.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Cheerleading rhymes reinforce the importance of self-confidence in this upbeat kinder-companion. From making new friends and playing an unfamiliar game to singing on stage and doing show and tell, Steinberg affirms: "When you take a look in the mirror,/ who's that kid looking your way?/ It's a person who's kind and thoughtful and smart/ and whose confidence grows every day." Facing each stanza are candy-colored digital renderings that feature kids and caregivers of varied abilities and skin tones as they engage in activities such as stacking blocks, practicing handwriting, and making crafts. Comparing confidence-building to biking ("It may start out hard, but the more you ride,/ look how easy it suddenly feels!"), Steinberg and Hammond spotlight the importance of persistence in transforming uncertainty into assurance in this sprightly aid. Ages 3–5.
