Back to School

Do you have a child going back to school soon?  Here are some great tips at the Barefoot Books website for helping your child have a successful transition to a new or first school year.  These tips are from Kathryn White, author of one of Barefoot's new titles - Ruby's School Walk.

Ruby’s School Walk

Join Ruby on her way to school and see the world her mom cannot see. In an old house, she spies bats with red eyes peering out and scary witches that flit about. And these aren’t the only dangers on her path: tigers, crocodiles and mighty beasts abound! "I must be brave, I must be strong," chants Ruby as she musters the nerve to scare them off; but will it work?

My daughter goes to pre-school all year round because I currently work full time, but she definitely has days when she doesn't want to go to school so this book is on my wish list!
