"Off to School" by Valeria Petrone is a charming picture book that captures the excitement and nervousness of starting school. The story follows a young child as they prepare for their first day, filled with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. With vibrant illustrations and relatable sentiments, it portrays the multiple emotions children experience—joy, fear, and curiosity—as they embark on a new adventure. Through engaging scenarios and encouraging themes, the book reassures young readers that these feelings are normal and that school can be a wonderful place to learn, make friends, and discover new things.
