Bookroo's summary
Rosie eagerly anticipates her first day of kindergarten, but pre-school jitters bring unexpected magic. Her mom's reassurance about 'butterflies in her belly' becomes literal when a butterfly flutters out as she greets a new friend. As Rosie navigates her day, she releases her butterflies and helps another shy student do the same. Will Rosie conquer her fears and embrace new friendships? Discover how a simple figure of speech transforms into a delightful journey of courage and connection.
From the publisher
Rosie’s excited to start kindergarten–she’s had her backpack ready for weeks. But suddenly, the night before the big day, her tummy hurts. Rosie’s mom reassures her that it’s just butterflies in her belly. Much to Rosie’s surprise, when she greets a new friend, a butterfly flies out of her mouth! Soon, Rosie frees all her butterflies . . . and helps another shy student release hers, too.
