Butterflies on the First Day of School

This truley helped my daughter with understanding all her nerves about Kindergarten. She wouldnt want to go everyday and complained she had a belly ache. I finally got this book and she understood why/when butterflies in your tummy happen and that everyone gets them. VERY well written !! LOVE IT

This book was a big hit with our granddaughter and her parents which was very much appreciated.

We love a book that has a true storyline and this one is perfect. Addresses first day jitters, leaving a sibling at home and puts a positive twist on them. Works well for any grade level, but we are looking forward to reading in anticipation of starting kindergarten and leaving a sister at home. Also has bright, colorful illustrations! The corner of ours was a little damaged but that didn’t impact reading.

I got this book for the first day of school and I paired it with a butterfly puppet.

Butterflies on the First Day of School just arrived and is a crowd pleaser. I read this aloud to my daughters and their friend, who happens to be very quiet and timid. She was smiling along with my girls, and I have the sense that she really understood little Rosie. Annie Silvestro’s books, all of them, are beautiful, fun, sweet and witty all at once - no easy feat! Her mastery of language and ability to make her characters come to life are remarkable. For any child who is anxious about the first day of school or anything else, this is your book! I just love the last page when the mother’s true feelings are expressed. We’ve all been there!
