Five Books For Back To School
The start of the school year can be an intimidating time for children. Whether they’re going to a new school or just entering a new grade, it’s easy to fear the overwhelming number of changes: new teachers, new classmates, a new routine.
But the new school year is also an exciting time, filled with possibilities. We’ve compiled a list of five books to help your young students start the new year with a positive attitude. For each book, we included a link to Amazon to purchase. We encourage you to link your account with Amazon Smile, so that a small percentage of your purchases go to a charity of your choice.
