Ollie's School Day: A Yes-and-No Book

Reach for this book when your child is standing at the threshold of preschool or kindergarten, feeling a mix of jitters and curiosity about what actually happens once the door closes. It serves as a gentle, playful bridge between home and school by demystifying the daily schedule. Through a series of silly questions and vibrant watercolor scenes, the story walks children through the rhythm of a classroom day, from arrival and circle time to recess and snacks. Appropriate for ages 3 to 6, the book focuses on the joy of discovery and the predictability of routines. It is a particularly effective choice for parents who want to lower their child's anxiety by making the unknown feel familiar and fun. By framing school as a place of active engagement rather than a place of separation, it helps children envision themselves as confident participants in their new environment.
