📖 Overview
Sarah Danneberg writes children's picture books that focus on school experiences and childhood anxieties. Her book "First Day Jitters" addresses the common fear children have about starting at a new school.
The story follows what appears to be a child's nervousness about the first day at a new school, with a surprise twist at the end. Danneberg structures the narrative to reveal that the nervous character is actually the teacher, not a student.
Her work targets young readers who are dealing with school transitions and new experiences. The book serves as both entertainment and a tool for helping children understand that adults experience nervousness too.
"First Day Jitters" has become a staple in elementary school libraries and classrooms. Teachers often use it at the beginning of the school year to help students feel more comfortable about new situations.
