This wonderful story is relatable and uplifting for young readers. Ethan’s challenges, from writing to dealing with a bully, are handled with care. I also loved the illustrations. I highly recommend it!

I brought my two sons along for the review and they found this book about Ethan's adventures in kindergarten both engaging and educational. They really enjoyed it. I think it would be great to add this book to your families collection. It's a must have.

This book is beautifully written and I absolutely love the illustrations.The struggles with writing and playground dynamics are portrayed with authenticity, allowing children to see themselves in Ethan's journey.
