A confident little Black girl has a fantastic first day of school in this companion to the New York Times bestseller The King of Kindergarten. MJ is more than ready for her first day of kindergarten! With her hair freshly braided and her mom' s special tiara on her head, she knows she' s going to rock kindergarten. But the tiara isn' t just for show-it also reminds her of all the good things she brings to the classroom, stuff like her kindness, friendliness, and impressive soccer skills, too! Like The King of Kindergarten, this is the perfect book to reinforce excitement and build confidence in the newest students.
"Brantley-Newton brings the fun of King of Kindergarten back in this companion book' s vibrant illustrations and racially diverse characters. MJ' s kindness and self-assuredness set a wonderful example for readers, who may also be preparing to expand their worlds, whether attending school or participating in a new group activity. A great choice for combating first-day jitters and building confidence. " --Booklist
