Abrams Books presents “I Am Ready for School” by Stephen Krensky, illustrated by Sara Gillingham🎒🍎✏️✨

A brand-new classroom, a brand-new teacher, brand-new friends…and one little kiddo who is ready for it all! 💛📚 I Am Ready for School is a cheerful and reassuring board book created especially for little ones preparing for that very big milestone—the first day of preschool or kindergarten. 🏫🌈

With sweet, encouraging rhymes, children get a peek at all the happy things waiting for them at school—a welcoming teacher, a colorful classroom, toys and books to share, and new friends to meet. 🧸📖🖍️ Each page gently builds confidence and reminds little readers that this exciting new place was made for them, too:

“I fit just right in every chair.
With toys and books for me to share.” 💕🍎

Part of the beloved Empowerment series by Stephen Krensky and award-winning illustrator Sara Gillingham, this sturdy board book celebrates those wonderful little victories that feel very big when you’re small—trying something new, becoming more independent, and discovering “I can do this!” ⭐️

With its charming retro-fresh illustrations and upbeat message, I Am Ready for School is a perfect read for the weeks leading up to school or tucked into a backpack for a little extra boost of confidence. 🎒✏️💛

New school. New friends. Big adventures. You’ve got this, little one! 🍎🌈📚✨
