This bright and colorfully illustrated story by Jane Smith captures all the excitement and nervous energy little ones feel before the first day of school. In It’s the First Day of First Grade, Chloe Zoe!, Chloe Zoe is thrilled to be in the same class as her best friend Mary Margaret, but her joy quickly turns to worry when a sparkly new classmate, Lulu the unicorn, seems to capture Mary Margaret’s full attention. Suddenly, Chloe Zoe isn't so sure there's still room for her, and readers get a gentle, relatable look at what it feels like when friendships shift and change. Alongside its emotional connection, the story includes fun and subtle learning moments with music, math, counting, and colors woven into the classroom experience. Jane Smith has created a warm, engaging tale that’s perfect for helping young elementary schoolers navigate big feelings and build excitement for the school year ahead.

It’s the First Day of First Grade, Chloe Zoe is about Chloe Zoe as she prepares for and stars 1st grade. We go through her first day with her as she has fun and overcomes some worries. This would be a great book for a rising 1st grader.
Thanks to IBPA, Jane Smith, and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
