Schools first Day of School

School's First Day of School, by Adam Rex and illustrated by Christian Robinson, is a children's book told from the perspective of a newly built elementary school, Frederick Douglass Elementary, as it experiences its first day with students. The school feels nervous and overwhelmed by the children, but its anxieties ease as it realizes the kids are also nervous and finds joy in the day's events, like learning shapes and seeing a girl draw a picture of it. The book is praised for its unique point of view, humor, and ability to help ease children's first-day jitters.
