A joyful picture book about a young alpaca’s first day back at school, from powerhouse team Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen and Leeza Hernandez

The first day back to school is always a little scary, but Alpaca is ready to face the new year! With shoes tied and snack-a all packed-a, Alpaca’s first day back-a is filled with classroom fun.

Working together. / Learning each rule.
You’re getting the KNACK-a / of being at school.
You’ll dream of tomorrow / when you hit the SACK-a
Your school will be waiting . . . / get ready, Alpaca!

From singing new songs to making new friends (and a paint spill here and there—no worries, Alpaca! Ms. Yak-a has more!), Alpaca will help young readers feel prepared for their first day, easing their anxieties and getting them excited for school.

Lucy ★★★★★

The illustrations by Leeza Hernandez are full of such personality that my daughter giggled at every page turn. We read it the night before school started and it genuinely calmed her nerves about meeting her new teacher.

Amelia ★★★★★

Got this for my niece’s first-day-of-school jitters, and the signed copy made it feel extra special. She giggled at the alpaca’s nervous scarf-tangling and now wants to read it every night before bed. The story’s rhythm is perfect for a quick, cozy read-aloud.

Brian B. ★★★★★

The illustrations are so warm and lively, my kid giggled at every alpaca face. We've already read it three times this week and the signed copy makes it feel extra special for our little bookworm.
