From the publisher

For fans of School’s First Day of School, this is a picture book about a young girl who is feeling mixed emotions about her first day of school. Some feelings are so big, one word just doesn’t cut it. It’s the first day of school for Afua! There’s no one word to name her feelings. Is she scared? Excited? Oh wait, she’s scarecited! Her own combination of both. Why should she have to choose? Scarecited on the First Day of School is a charming picture book that reminds us all that having the courage to be our authentic self is always just enough, and you can feel more than one big emotion at the same time. But if there isn’t one word to describe those feelings . . . there’s beauty in making it yourself.
