Mila and the Brave Stone – First Day of Preschool Picture Book (Ages 3–6)

First day of preschool coming up – and butterflies in the tummy? Mila knows that feeling.

A gentle story about saying goodbye, finding a little courage and making a first new friend.

The story: Today is Mila's first day at forest kindergarten. Mama Fox gives her a small gray brave stone: “When you squeeze it, you think of me.” Mila says goodbye, whispers her name at morning circle – and finds Max, the little mole, crying behind a tree. Now Mila knows who the brave stone can help next.

Why parents love it: Reading it before the big day takes the edge off: your child knows what's coming and has a picture for their courage. Tip: give your child a real little pebble – their very own brave stone.

As a gift: A thoughtful Christmas gift when preschool starts in January or fall – or a brave-up present for the first day.
