The hilarious and heartfelt debut picture book from Katie Clapham, illustrated by Nadia Shireen – creator of the bestselling, highly acclaimed Grimwood series and Barbara Throws a Wobbler – will help kids feel better about those first-day-at-school nerves, as well as encouraging all children to create a safe and welcoming space for others.
Because, really, starting school can be scary. And being a New Kid in a new school can also be very scary. Luckily, this book will help soothe first-day nerves, make kids feel excited about the challenge and also show children how to be the PERFECT Tour Guide and make any New Kid feel right at home. And did we mention this book is very funny? Because it really is.
So, come along and join THE TOUR with Katie Clapham and Nadia Shireen. First stop? The toilets. Because they’re great for singing in. (And also for weeing.) And don’t forget to show them the library and its one MILLION books (remember to use your quiet mouse voice!), the playground (where you can play Worldwide Hairdressers!) and … the EMERGENCY MEET UP PLACE (just in case anyone gets lost). But REMEMBER, sometimes when you’re a New Kid it can all be … a bit too much. And that’s when the New Kid doesn’t need you to be a tour guide anymore, they need you to be … a friend.
