FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (WXYZ) — Starting kindergarten can be a nerve-racking experience for little ones. But 12 local fifth-graders have put pen to paper to help the next incoming class of kindergarteners get excited for the school year ahead.
The fifth-graders at Beechview Elementary School in Farmington Hills came together with local children’s book author Andy Gutman to co-author “My First Day of Kindergarten.”
The book is a collection of the fifth-graders’ personal experiences starting kindergarten, aiming to help ease the fears for kids apprehensive about starting school.
On Tuesday, the young co-authors participated in a book signing ceremony at the elementary school.
We’re told proceeds of the book, which is available on Amazon, will go directly to Beechview Elementary School.
