One Deep Breath, One Small Step

Remy’s paws are ready for school—but his tummy has other ideas. On his first day, the busy hallway feels unfamiliar, and Remy isn’t sure where he belongs. With Mom’s reassuring words in mind, he takes a breath and steps inside, hoping he can find his way through the day.

Mrs. Hazel welcomes him, and Poppy makes room beside her. Soon Remy is sitting with new friends, but snack time brings an unexpected spill—and those wiggly feelings return. With a little help from Poppy, Milo, and Dottie, Remy discovers that joining in can begin with one small act of courage. Can he find the confidence to play alongside his new classmates, even when things don’t go quite as planned?

This gentle preschool story meets first-day jitters with warmth, friendship, and reassuring reminders that it’s okay to feel nervous. Young children and grown-ups can enjoy reading Remy’s school-day adventure together.
