Description

Jim faces his fears of making a friend on his first day of kindergarten in this picture book by Miriam Cohen, chosen as the Library of Congress s Children s Book of the Year.

When Pa was taking Jim to school for the first time, Jim said, Will I have a friend at school? I think you will, said Pa.

But even his father s gentle reassurance doesn t make Jim feel any better. The other children in kindergarten are scary strangers to him. He s sure that he ll never find a friend…until naptime, when he discovers someone who feels the way he does.
