In this heart-warming, poetic story, a father and child share the last few moments of quiet before the school year begins. They take the time to notice each detail as they spend their special day together - from making a special pancake breakfast to noticing each spider's web and falling feather. A moving story for parents to share with their little ones as they take their first steps into school or nursery.

A poignant story about the wonder of small things and the emotions of sending a child to school

Reviews
A stunning book that reminds us to slow down and appreciate the precious time we have together. One to read over and over again. -- Hellen Kellock, author of Out to Sea
Poignant story about the wonder of small things and the emotions of sending a child to school. -- The Bookseller
Ideal for a child about to start school (or indeed an emotional parent experiencing the same), the poetic prose and illustrations reflect a true love story of parent and child. It's refreshing to see a father depicted as primary carer in this book. -- Children's Books Ireland
