Who's Who at School

A parent would reach for this book when their child is feeling anxious about starting school or moving to a new one. This simple, photographic nonfiction book acts as a visual guide, introducing the key adults in a school building, from the principal and teacher to the librarian, nurse, and custodian. It clearly explains what each person does in a way that is easy for a young child to understand. By putting a face and a function to the many strangers a child will encounter, the book helps demystify the school environment. It directly addresses anxiety by replacing the unknown with concrete, friendly information, fostering a sense of safety, curiosity, and belonging before the first bell even rings.
