A cure for the back-to-school worrier

Digby is nervous about his first day of school. Will he make friends or be able to follow the rules? Fortunately, Digby's mother knows just how to help him. She gives him a pocketful of kisses and says, "If you're worried, take a kiss from your pocket and imagine I am with you."
This sweet and reassuring picture book will comfort readers (and their parents) through those first-day-of-school jitters-and beyond.
