Tico's first day of school doesn't go exactly as planned... but it might be the beginning of something amazing.

Tico Goes to School is a heartwarming first day of school book that helps children embrace what makes them unique. Tico, a young tiger cub, is excited and nervous as he walks into the classroom-until he realizes he doesn't look like the other kids. With his bold black stripes, he begins to wonder if being different means he won't fit in.

Through gentle storytelling and rich, full-color illustrations, this jungle animal picture book explores big feelings in little hearts. Tico learns that bravery and self-confidence don't mean being perfect-they mean showing up, being yourself, and letting your stripes shine.

This empowering children's book is perfect for:

• Preschool and kindergarten readers preparing for their first day
• Parents and teachers supporting social emotional learning for kids
• Families looking for friendship books for preschoolers
• Readers who enjoy tiger cub children's stories that teach empathy and courage
• Anyone searching for children's books about being different or books for anxious kids

Includes a reflective diary page to help young readers process their own first-day experience.
