Hello! Kia Ora! Welcome New Friend!

This new release by author Rachel Weston (Bumblebees Have Smelly Feet) and

illustrator Deborah Hinde is a great way to introduce children to their new school environment. The illustrations are warm, soft and welcoming and the faces cover every nuance of emotion. In essence, this story is about kindness and inclusion and how important it is to us all - especially our little ones starting school. Joining a classroom for the first time can be scary and overwhelming, and this book recognises and navigates that natural anxiety beautifully. A must read for any parent with a child approaching school entry age.
