Ms and Mx liked. We bought as a gift for Aiden, but then forgot to gift it, so when Ms started at OMES we read it; and again when Ms started there. Both had easy transitions to the school. Book about feeling nervous on the first day of school and how you might support someone who is feeling nervous.

I love how this reminds me of The Night Before Christmas as things are set out and ready in anticipation of the Easter Bunny.
