Bookroo's summary
At Frederick Douglass Elementary, the first day of school brings jitters not just for the students, but for the school itself. As the day unfolds, the school wonders if the children will like it and be kind. With a rocky start, the school soon discovers it's not alone in its nervousness. This charming tale, told from the school's perspective, explores the universal anxiety of new beginnings and the comfort found in shared experiences. Will the school find acceptance and friendship by the day's end?
