Sumi's First Day of School Ever

Sumi's First Day of School Ever by Un Kim, Joung. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780670035229.

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.
