Picture Book. Carlos is about to start kindergarten, but he's feeling a bit nervous. How will he find his teacher? He gets a letter from Mrs. Bashay saying she is his new teacher and she will wear a big flowered hat on the first day of school. She asks each student to bring in a flower for the hat, a picture doing something they love, and a big kindergarten smile. Carlos deliberates between several interests for his photo and decides on a picture by the garden. This is a cute story to normalize nervousness and also shows the difference it can make for teachers to take a personal interest in their teachers. I also appreciated the visibly diverse student body on the bus and at school.
