Bookroo's summary

Elisa Michaels embarks on her first-grade journey, eager to prove she's no longer a baby. With piano lessons, tooth fairy visits, and a special Mother's Day breakfast, Elisa faces the challenges of growing up. As she navigates school adventures and family celebrations, will she find the independence she craves, or will her brother Russell's teasing hold her back? Join Elisa in a year of discovery and self-assertion.

From the publisher

Finally…first grade!Elisa is finally in a grade with a number – just like her big brother, Russell. Elisa is old enough to take piano lessons, lose a tooth, or make a special Mother’s Day breakfast. Sometimes Russell treats her like a baby, but Elisa is making big plans!
