A confident start to kindergarten

A first day of school becomes a milestone to take pride in as a young boy steps into kindergarten ready to participate. He dresses himself, enjoys breakfast, and meets a day full of new experiences with enthusiasm. The story centers on the shift from home into a classroom community, while the boy’s eagerness to share his accomplishments with his parents carries the celebration beyond the school day. Its focus on confidence, independence, and beginning something unfamiliar gives the kindergarten transition a clear place in the story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children around ages 4–8 approaching or beginning kindergarten
  • Families seeking a picture book about school transitions and first-day confidence

Book overview

A New York Times bestseller!

A confident little boy takes pride in his first day of kindergarten, by the Newbery Honor-winning author of Crown.


The morning sun blares through your window like a million brass trumpets.It sits and shines behind your head--like a crown. Mommy says that today, you are going to be the King of Kindergarten!

Starting kindergarten is a big milestone--and the hero of this story is ready to make his mark! He's dressed himself, eaten a pile of pancakes, and can't wait to be part of a whole new kingdom of kids. The day will be jam-packed, but he's up to the challenge, taking new experiences in stride with his infectious enthusiasm! And afterward, he can't wait to tell his proud parents all about his achievements--and then wake up to start another day.
Newbery Honor-winning author Derrick Barnes's empowering story will give new kindergarteners a reassuring confidence boost, and Vanessa Brantley-Newton's illustrations exude joy.
