Chicken Soup for the Soul BABIES: No School for Me! (Change Is Hard)

Illustrated by Cory Reid
Chicken Soup for the Soul BABIES imparts good values through heartwarming and humorous stories to help little ones put their best foot forward.

This 13th installment of the board book series is perfect for toddlers starting preschool and experiencing changes and transitions.


It’s the first day of preschool, which means new shoes, an unfamiliar place, and new classmates. Little Turtle does NOT want to go. Mama Turtle tells Little Turtle that trying new things can be a lot of fun. Little Turtle doesn’t want anything to change.

But once at school, Little Turtle realizes that while a lot can feel different and new, some things might be the same. At circle time, Mrs. Owl reads Little Turtle’s favorite story, and at snack time, Little Turtle shares a table with Bunny who also loves carrots!

School isn’t so bad after all. Little Turtle can’t wait to come back!

A first-day-of-school read that supports little ones on their big day.
Natasha Yim is the author of Sacajawea of the Shoshone (Goosebottom, 2012), Cixi, "The Dragon Empress" (Goosebottom, 2001), and Otto’s Rainy Day. She lives in Ukiah, California, with her family. View titles by Natasha Yim
