Big Day Book
Pick the big day and add your child's name, get a story that walks them through what will happen.
First day of school, a new baby, moving house, the dentist: kids cope better when they know what is coming. Choose the event, give it your child's name and a few details — the school's name, the baby's name, the new suburb — and set a reading level. Back comes a preparation story that walks through the day in order, from waking up to coming home, with your child in it. Read it a few times in the week before. It shows the ordinary version of the day, so the parts that are specific to your family are yours to fill in.
