Nathaniel’s 1st Day of School

Written by Krysta Williams and Nathaniel Dawkins

Narrated by Kyle Snyder

This book was written to educate, motivate and encourage not just children but parents also to aid and bring comfort to settle anxieties regarding starting school. To achieve this, a mother and son diligently worked together to address some concerns that most children have before their first day of school.
The story depicts a nervous four-year-old boy expressing his concerns to his mom, who gave him advice that helped him to overcome his fears. Their conversations are filled with rhymes, words and phrases to assist with the improvement of your child's vocabulary and develop their ability to understand and express themselves. At the end of the book, the boy is ready for his first day of school; he has an eagerness to learn and to meet new friends. His mom was able to make him understand how awesome and important it is to go to school. He now knows that school is a safe, exciting and happy place.
The story highlights the use of words that have multiple meanings, and words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. It emphasises the value of learning words with their meanings and use. The book includes a glossary of words and phrases that were used throughout the book, which may be new to your child and perhaps even you. A lot was learned during the process of writing this book. Learning is an ongoing event. Learning never gets old and you are never too old to learn.
