Summary:

Make the first day of school a little less scary—and a lot more magical—with this warm and encouraging story where your child becomes the hero. In Oscar’s First School Day, we follow a nervous first morning filled with butterflies, big emotions, and brand-new experiences… but also with magical helpers that make all the difference.

When the hero wakes with a knot in his stomach and worries about getting lost or being alone, a special friend appears: a talking schoolbag and a supportive pencil that help him find his classroom, write his name, and take his very first steps into a whole new world.

On the playground, the hero finds the courage to say hello, share a snack, and discover that friendships often begin with something very small. Together with a new friend, his confidence grows, and the fear slowly begins to fade.

Back in the classroom, new challenges await—along with new victories. When the hero writes his name for the very first time and completes his first task, pride blossoms, and school suddenly feels much less overwhelming.

With warm illustrations and a gentle tone, Oscar’s First School Day helps children understand that it’s completely normal to feel nervous—and that courage often begins with one tiny step. A perfect story for children about to start school, or for any child who needs a little extra comfort in new situations.

A loving, encouraging book that helps children look forward to school - and believe that they can handle whatever comes their way.

Sharing the lunch and meeting Emil shows children how little it takes to start a friendship. It inspires kindness and makes social steps feel more manageable.
