From the publisher

A funny, heartwarming, and colorful picture book about the first school at day. For children who are a little afraid of this big step and for those looking forward to it. It’s Robin’s first day at school. He doesn’t look forward to it, but he actually ends up having a lot of fun! The children do rope-skipping and craftwork, Robin builds a tower of blocks and he goes to the toilet all by himself… This large picture book is a sweet rendition of what a little one can expect on the first day of school and being part of his/her new community.
