About the Book
I'm Going To School is the perfect companion for children starting school for the first time. Each page will take a child through a different aspect of the school day, letting them know just what to expect with humorous artwork and reassuring, fun activities. The activities are simple enough for children to complete on their own, but I'm Going To School also provides an opportunity for parents to share in the school experience of their child and create something to be treasured and looked back on in years to come.
About the Author
Chris Dickason's irreverent sense of humour was born from years as both a mild mannered doodler and angry burger flipper. Taking inspiration as much from Henri Matisse as he does The Muppets, as well as odd bits of packaging collected from foreign supermarkets, Chris' work has been described as charming and visually striking with a sharp graphic style. His illustrations are populated with rambunctious characters that are a cleverly crafted mix of an uncomplicated line style and wonky perspectives. Chris is the illustrator of Buster Books' bestselling Clever Kids series.
