Bookroo's summary

Billy can't sleep before his first day of preschool, filled with nervous anticipation. But after meeting new friends, his excitement for school keeps him awake the next night. Will his newfound joy ease his fears and make school a place of endless fun? Discover how friendship transforms anxiety into eagerness in this charming tale.

From the publisher

It’s the night before preschool, and a little boy named Billy is so nervous he can’t fall asleep. The friends he makes the next day at school give him a reason not to sleep the next night, either: he’s too excited about going back! The book’s simple rhyming text and sweet illustrations will soothe any child’s fears about the first day of school.
