Rosenberry, Vera

Vera's First Day of School

(2) PS Though excited about beginning school, Vera hesitates when she sees "more children than she had ever seen before." Standing at the edge of the schoolyard, Vera hears the bell ring just as the doors are closing and goes home, defeated--but her mother saves the day. Rosenberry's playful, brightly colored gouache illustrations capture Vera's jubilation-turned-dismay.
