Sumi's First Day of School Ever

The first day of school can be lonely and scary especially when you dont speak the same language as everyone else. Sumi only knows one phrase in English "Hello my name is Sumi." This doesnt seem nearly enough to prepare her for a big school with wide stairs noisy children and a mean classmate. From the author of the Ezra Jack Keats Award winner Dear Juno comes this thoughtful picture book about a young Korean girl on her first day of school. Beautiful expressive illustrations show how a considerate teacher and even a new friend help Sumi discover that school might not be so lonely after all.
