A unique twist on the first day of school
Khepri lives in ancient Egypt, happily fishing alongside his father in the waters of the Nile. But today, Khepri will have to replace his fishing pole with the reed pens of a scribe: it's his first day of school. As he and his father travel to Thebes, Khepri faces his anxieties about starting school and eventually finds a sense of peace.
From the author of Brother Hugo and the Bear, this gorgeous and poignant book delivers a relatable story in an unusual historical setting.
School Library Journal (STARRED review)
"Quiet but beautifully written, this is a great informational read-aloud about starting school, ancient Egypt, and hieroglyphics."
