It’s time to go back to school…again! Whether you have a brand-new preschooler or a seasoned sixth grader, reading picture books together is a wonderful way to prepare for the year ahead. Starting something new can bring jitters for kids and parents alike, but talking about what to expect can help ease those nerves.

A good book can open the door to those conversations and make the transition feel a little less overwhelming—and a lot more exciting.
