Barnaby Bright and the First Day Wobble

A heartwarming picture book that helps children face new beginnings with courage and confidence.

Tomorrow is Barnaby Bright's first day at his new preschool.

A new classroom.

New teachers.

New friends.

New everything.

As Barnaby walks through the door, something jumpy, fizzy, and fluttery begins bubbling inside his tummy.

Then the Wobble appears.

This time, it is bright violet, bouncy, and impossible to ignore.

Barnaby Bright and the First-Day Wobble is a gentle, reassuring story that helps young children understand first-day nerves and reminds them that feeling scared about something new is completely normal.

As Barnaby discovers that every new adventure begins with one brave little step, children learn that courage does not mean feeling fearless. It means trying anyway, even when the Wobble comes along.
