Synopsis

An encouraging and empowering book for young children about to enter school for the first time. Minnie the Marmot is misunderstood and worried about starting school. Her friends have called her names she doesn't understand. On the night before elementary school begins her mother explains how Marmots are "different" from most of the other Forest Floor Elementary animals. Her mother explains that not being the "same" is something to be proud of.
After reading, guide your child through these discussions questions...
Minnie was different from her friends. Think about your friends.
How are they the same as you?
How are they different?
What things can you say to your friends to make them happy?
Starting school is such an exciting time for both children and their families. For some children, it can be a scary time as well. Helping children prepare for their new experiences can make the adjustment to school a bit smoother.

Children may have fears or worries about what could happen. They may be frightened about making new friends, fitting in, making mistakes or being separated from their families.

What does your child think about it?

We’ve written the Forest Floor Elementary Series to help parents talk to their children about their concerns and come up with strategies for handling them.
Our Forest Floor Elementary Series has a story about Sammi who is scared and nervous, Ezra who is anxious and sad, Bobby who is always busy and often has to apologize for his behavior, and Minnie who feels misunderstood as an uncommon forest animal.
Even if your child is not scared, anxious, too busy, or misunderstood, he or she will benefit from understanding the possible concerns of their new classmates.
As an elementary school teacher and principal for over 40 years, I recognize that parents know their children best and can be partners in the effort to help every child be successful.
So enjoy these stories written with love, listen to your children, and please and let us know how these stories have helped your child get ready to start school. email hilljeannem@gmail.com
Our wish is for all children to celebrate the unique qualities they possess and achieve their full potential.
Happy reading!
