Kindergarten Jitters Nicole Pilling

Four-year-old Lewis is very nervous about going to school for the first time. He desperately wants to be brave like all the other boys and girls, but his fear of starting kindergarten is overwhelming. Helped by encouragement and support from his mother, Lewis walks to school on his first day where he meets a friendly crossing guard who reminds him of his grandpa. After he arrives on the playground, Lewis meets a new friend and his teacher, Miss Rainbow, who helps him overcome his fears, learn independence, and discover how much fun school can be. Kindergarten Jitters is the touching story of a little boy anxious to start school who discovers he is not the only one who carries fear of new experiences in his backpack as he makes new friends and learns coping skills.
