"Mom, It's My First Day of Kindergarten!" by Hyewon Yum captures the excitement and anxiety of starting school for the first time through the eyes of a young child. As the little one prepares for the big day, parents and caregivers provide reassurance. The story beautifully illustrates the mix of emotions—nervousness, anticipation, and curiosity—that children experience while embarking on this new adventure. Through charming illustrations and relatable experiences, the book conveys the importance of stepping out of one’s comfort zone and the joy of new beginnings. Ultimately, it’s a heartwarming depiction of the transition into a world of learning and friendship. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
