A touching, helpful story that tackles the school anxieties that so many young children face when starting kindergarten.
School is right around the corner, but Martin isn't feeling very excited to begin kindergarten.

Gently, Martin's mother helps him overcome his anxieties as she prepares him for what school will be like. By the time summer is over, Martin is feeling more confident than ever that school is the right place for a big kid like him.
