SOUNDS LIKE SCHOOL SPIRIT

The ultimate back-to-school ode, this interactive, cheer-filled picture book joyfully celebrates the community we build at school.

They have spirit, yes they do! Follow kids from circle time to the lunch line in this lively, rhyming picture book that perfectly matches the high energy of a new classroom. With a call and response like "We say ALPHA, you say BET," built into the text, kids will love reading and cheering along.

Key selling points
- A perennial back-to-school book: The setting will be a draw for teachers and parents, and it's a great way to channel the first-day-of-school energy into a moment of bonding.
- Celebrates community: The end of the book reveals a school-wide project of a mural and is a great way to start conversations about community and working together.
- Building friendships: The art shows additional storylines about nervous kids eventually finding their place and making new friends.
