Bo's Brave Button: First Day of School Story + Puzzles + Coloring Book (Printable PDF, Ages 3-6)

Help your little one feel brave on the first day of school

Starting school is a big step. Bo the bunny is nervous too, until Mama sews a shiny brave button into his backpack. When Bo's tummy feels fluttery, he presses the button, smells the flower and blows the candle, and finds his calm. Then he meets Dot, a shy little duckling who needs a friend.

Bo's Brave Button is a warm, illustrated story with a puzzle after every page and coloring pages for all the characters. Read it together before the big day, then print the activities to keep little hands busy.
