About this title

Synopsis

Does your child feel nervous about starting school? You’re not alone—and they’re not either.

I’m Afraid of... School! is part of The Brave Kids’ Guide series by Zoey Adams, a former teacher and passionate advocate for helping kids face their fears with courage and confidence. This warm, beautifully illustrated picture book helps children navigate the emotions that come with starting school—whether it’s the first day of kindergarten or a move to a new grade or environment.

With empathy, humor, and gentle encouragement, this story explores a range of common school-related worries—meeting new classmates, getting lost in the building, following rules, participating in class, dealing with bullies, and more—while showing kids that they have the strength and resilience to succeed.

What’s Inside:

✅ Relatable fears explored with kindness and care
From test anxiety to making friends, this book walks through everyday school scenarios with honesty and hope.

✅ Empowering “Brave Moments” on every page
Each challenge is paired with a moment of encouragement—showing kids how they can rise to meet it, one brave step at a time.

✅ Vibrant illustrations in a soft, storybook style
Kids will see themselves reflected in the expressive artwork, featuring a diverse cast of characters and a gentle, reassuring tone.

✅ Perfect for back-to-school season, classroom prep, or any transition
Use this book as a conversation starter at home or in the classroom. It’s ideal for ages 4–8 but resonates with older kids too.

✅ Includes a heartfelt author’s note and acknowledgment of real-life bravery
Author Zoey Adams shares her own childhood fears and reminds readers that bravery isn’t the absence of fear—it’s taking action in spite of it.
