Use a Countdown Calendar to Ease Back-to-School Anxiety

[Guess what? Author/artist Lydia Lukidis is also featuring Clover Kitty on her blog today–with ANOTHER chance for a giveaway! Plus backstory and writing process info. You can check it out here!)

Is your child anxious about starting school? (Or are you?!) Check out the cute countdown calendar I created to go with my new picture book, Clover Kitty Goes to Kittygarten (illus. by Hiroe Nakata, Two Lions).

It’s great for getting ready for the school year and for reflecting on school days once school starts. More about Clover Kitty here.

And Clover Kitty’s free or deeply discounted this month as an Amazon First Reads pick!
