Mission Milestone picture books help kids face first experiences with confidence by turning everyday milestones into fun, rewarding adventures. Children will boldly grow alongside Ollie the panda and his alien friend Sid, who lead the way and earn Star Scout badges for every accomplishment.

In this mission, Ollie and Sid start their very first day of school!

Ollie and Sid are ready for their first day of school—a mission full of new people, places, routines, and discoveries. With courage, curiosity, teamwork, and friendship, they show that starting school isn’t scary—it’s an adventure in learning and growing.

Packed with adorable illustrations, First Day of School is the perfect confidence-building back-to-school picture book for ages three to seven. Ideal for read-aloud story time, preschool and kindergarten classrooms, or helping kids get ready for their own first day of school.

Join Ollie and Sid on more Star Scout missions to help kids navigate early life experiences—because every new milestone is an adventure waiting to happen.
