THE QUEEN OF KINDERGARTEN
Vanessa Brantley Derrick Barnes
A confident little girl has a fantastic first day of school in this companion to the New York Times bestseller The King of Kindergarten.
MJ is more than ready for her first day of kindergarten! With her hair freshly braided and her mom's special tiara on her head, she knows she's going to rock kindergarten. But the tiara isn't just for show - it also reminds her of all the good things she brings to the classroom, stuff like her kindness, friendliness, and impressive soccer skills, too! Like The King of Kindergarten, this is the perfect book to reinforce excitement and build confidence in the newest students.
Key selling points:
- DERRICK AND VANESSA HAVE DONE IT AGAIN! Perfect for fans of The King of Kindergarten, this book is equally positive and empowering for young readers starting school.
- THE KING OF KINDERGARTEN IS A BESTSELLING HIT! The popularity of Derrick and Vanessa's first foray into the first-day-of-kindergarten world bodes well for the success of this new book.
- PERFECT FOR ALLEVIATING FIRST-DAY-OF-KINDERGARTEN JITTERS: MJ's upbeat attitude and obvious pleasure in all the day brings will boost the confidence of kids soon to start school themselves.
- NARRATED BY A CONFIDENT, EXUBERANT YOUNG BLACK GIRL: While both books are really gender-neutral, it will be great for young readers to have access to both girl and boy narrators for this first-day-of-school experience.
- VIVID ILLUSTRATIONS jam-packed with energy, enthusiasm, and joy.
