Tomorrow is Zuri's very first day of school — and her tummy feels fluttery, like butterflies are having a dance party in there. Follow Zuri as she takes ten small brave steps: through the school door, hello to her teacher, up the tall slide, and more. Along the way she learns her favorite calm-down tool, the balloon breath — breathe in like smelling flowers, out like blowing bubbles. Brave doesn't mean not scared. Brave means trying one small step. This story-first social-emotional learning picture book helps little ones face the first day of school with confidence — and includes a Brave Steps guide for grown-ups, with tips for naming one brave step together and praising the trying, not the talent.
