It's Antonio's very first day of school, and he can't wait to get ready! He gets up without any fuss and tells his mother he can make his own bed. He gets dressed in clothes that he picked out himself, brushes his teeth, and smiles in satisfaction at all the things he can do. He even fixes his own breakfast (with a little help from Mom). Then it's off to the school bus with thanks to his Mom, "...for letting me do it all by myself!"
Antonio's story is related through bold, unforgettable images and cheerful dialog that will help children develop a sense of pride in taking care of themselves—and help parents encourage them to be more independent.
