Willa · 5 years old
AdventureOn the morning of Willa's first day of school, her little blue train has to carry her there.
His wheels wobble past the sleepy houses, and his whistle squeaks on the tall bridge.
In the long dark tunnel he almost turns back, but Willa is riding right there in his carriage.
When the school gates come into view he lets out one big proud whistle, and they walk in brave together.

Omar · 5 years old
BedtimeThe night before Omar's first day of kindergarten, his teddy bear cannot sleep either.
He tiptoes across the moonlit rug and pats the new shoes standing side by side at the door.
He presses his soft ear against the lunchbox until the apple inside gives one small bump.
Then he climbs into the front pocket of the backpack and falls asleep, ready for the morning.

Freya · 6 years old
FunnyFreya's sunflower decides he is coming to her first day of school, no matter what anyone says.
He ducks onto the bus, and his petals scrape the roof the whole way there.
He turns sideways at the classroom door, catches a leaf, and sends the crayon bin flying.
So the teacher plants him in a pot by the window, exactly the right size to watch Freya all day.

Leo · 6 years old
AdventureOn Leo's first day of school, his kite slips free of the railing and climbs into the sky.
From up high he can see the whole playground, and Leo standing by the fence on his own.
So he dips low over recess and lets his ribbon bows loop and dance until every child looks up.
Leo runs out to catch the string, and three new friends come running out with him.
The first day is a big one, and most of the books about it star somebody else's cartoon child. This one stars the character your own kid invented. Upload the train or the teddy bear or the sunflower they drew, and DoodleTale turns that exact drawing into the AI-illustrated hero of a story about the first morning: the nerves, the door, the moment it turns out fine. Reading it the night before helps. Keeping it afterwards is the point. You will see a free preview in a few minutes. A digital download is $9.99, and a printed softcover is $29.99 with free shipping.
