Coco is nervous about her first day of school — and her new teacher, Mrs. Dormund. Rumors of snake-egg lunches and a booming classroom voice only make things worse. But when Coco discovers an unexpected secret, she learns that even grown-ups feel anxious sometimes — and that facing your fears can lead to surprising friendships.
This beautifully illustrated story reassures young readers that jitters are normal, while gently exploring themes of anxiety, empathy, and courage. With humor, heart, and a lovable stuffed animal named Squeaky, The First Day Jitters reminds us that everyone — even teachers — needs a little comfort on big days.
Perfect for young readers and families, this third book in The Adventures of Kai & Coco series builds on the charm of The Gift of Red Envelopes and Together Under the Moon, yet can be enjoyed on its own.
