Synopsis

Butterflies flutter inside the tummy of a young girl as she prepares for the first day of school. At bedtime her mind races with countless questions - she is both nervous and excited as she tries to imagine what the first day will be like. The next morning her parents have her favorite breakfast ready, along with lots of love and hugs. With all the confidence she can muster, she bravely journeys off to the first day of school. Told in her voice, her story mirrors the feelings of anxiety and nervous exhilaration all children encounter the day before school. Children will be happy to find out that they are not alone and that everyone gets butterflies.
