    From the best-selling author of the hugely popular Kindergarten, Here I Come!, here's a guidebook that shows children how to be confident in the new and exciting world of kindergarten.

    "This is one to read and reread to calm back-to-school jitters."–Kirkus Reviews

    Small enough to fit in a child's backpack, this collection of short poems offers sweet and simple tips on how kids can become their most confident self, from gaining the confidence to try new things to not letting nerves prevent presenting at show-and-tell. Spanning the entire year of kindergarten, this is the perfect companion to D. J. Steinberg's Kindergarten, Here I Come! and How to Be Kind in Kindergarten.
    Best-selling author D.J. Steinberg may look like a grownup, but on the inside, he's actually just an oversized kid who likes to write books about all the big and little moments of growing up.  He has published over 20 books including graphic novels, picture books, board books and early readers.  You can find out more about his popular "Here I Come!" series of rhyming books for all occasions wherever books are sold, and you can check out more about D.J. online at www.djsteinberg.com.
