“A delightful book about the first day of kindergarten! Valerie McNeil has written a must-read story that brilliantly captures Sadie's feelings of excitement and apprehension as she navigates her first day of school." -Margaree King Mitchell, author

“With an engaging real-life story, Sadie reminds children to pray whenever they feel nervous or afraid. The biggest bonus from the book is that it’s a reminder every adult needs as well.” -Rhonda Kehlbeck, Ph.D, author, educator

“Excellent book for parents, grandparents, and teachers to read to their children beginning school for the first time. The book will help to ease the jitters of starting school. It’s a precious way to teach children how God is always there when we need Him, all we have to do is pray and ask for His help.” -Nekayla Washington, educator

“If anticipating the first day of school induces anxiety in your elementary-aged child, Sadie Prays for a Good First Day is the antidote to such distress. Apropos to both educators and parents, this book reminds us of God's power and presence, even in the affairs of a resolute 5-year-old.” -Johnitha W. Johnson, Ph.D, professor
