Kiki Kangaroo is usually a happy, bouncy joey - but not today. He's nervous, overwhelmed, and sure he won't be going to school. Between a strict teacher, noisy celebrations, and too many rules, school feels overwhelming. Luckily, he has a strong support team: his Mom-Jill and Granny-Roo are ready to listen, encourage, and help Kiki find a way to feel safe, understood, and prepared to try again. Set in a stunning natural habitat near Bondi Beach, Australia, this beautifully told story follows a relatable, adorable character with a big question. Kiki's story starts with a question many children silently ask: "Why do I have to go to school when I'm scared or overwhelmed?" Through teamwork, creative solutions, and emotional honesty, Kiki learns valuable skills like self-advocacy, emotional regulation, and sensory awareness. Young readers will follow along as Kiki finds his voice, builds confidence, and discovers that even strict teachers can become part of a child's support system. The book blends charming storytelling with real-world photographs of Australian landscapes- a hallmark of the Libby Hikind method. It places animal characters in their true environments to build deeper understanding and engagement. Ideal for children ages 4 to 13, the "Extend the Story" discussion questions are available and will spark conversation and reflection for different age groups, making it perfect for parents, teachers, counselors, and homeschoolers. A companion activity coloring book purchased separately, designed for use with crayons, colored pencils, and markers, adds an extra layer of creative learning and critical thinking. Whether read aloud or independently, Why Won't You Go to School, Kiki Kangaroo? is a gentle, empowering story that reminds children they're not alone - and that with a bit of help, they can take brave steps forward.
