Tomorrow is the first day of school in Ms. Kathy's Pre-K classroom.
The colored pencils are ready, the chairs are waiting, and Ms. Kathy has butterflies in her tummy as she wonders about the new students she will soon meet.
A gentle story about first-day feelings, prayer, courage, and discovering that every child is already loved-and that there is a special place where they belong.
