ABOUT THE BOOKS:

On the first day of school

School supplies, classmates,
and teachers, too.
Starting a new school year can be scary, but your teacher is here for you! Come along with the kids from the bestsellers All Are Welcome and Big Feelings as they learn to work together, try new things, and—with the support of their teacher—soar!

OTIS KNOWS, by Liz Garton Scanlon and Martha Brockenbrough
Otis sleeps his deep and heavy sleep.
He dreams his Otis dreams.
And he’ll wake when he’s ready, in his own way, in his own time.
Why?
Because Otis knows.
While other bears emerge from their dens on the first spring morning, Otis is still sleeping. While other bears chase slippery salmon through the water, Otis catches them from his own special spot by the river. While other bears play and tussle, Otis naps.
Why? Because Otis knows something we can all get behind: the best way to be…is to be yourself, in your own time and in your own unique way.
