Two feelings, one first day

Afua’s first day of school brings excitement and fear at once, and she gives that combination a name of her own: “scarecited.” The picture book builds its central idea around a familiar milestone and the challenge of finding words for feelings that don’t fit neatly into one category. It also touches on self-expression and the courage to be oneself, while affirming that mixed emotions can coexist.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for children ages 4–8 approaching or reflecting on a first day of school.
  • For families and educators seeking a picture book about naming feelings and self-expression.

Book overview

For fans of School's First Day of School, this is a picture book about a young girl who is feeling mixed emotions about her first day of school.

Some feelings are so big, one word just doesn't cut it.

It's the first day of school for Afua! There's no one word to name her feelings. Is she scared? Excited? Oh wait, she's scarecited! Her own combination of both. Why should she have to choose?

Scarecited on the First Day of School is a charming picture book that reminds us all that having the courage to be our authentic self is always just enough, and you can feel more than one big emotion at the same time. But if there isn't one word to describe those feelings . . . there's beauty in making it yourself.
