Everward Press is pleased to announce the release of Grant’s First Day, the debut children’s book from author Avery Lane and the first title in the new Grant’s Big Little Adventures series.
Created for children ages 4–7, Grant’s First Day follows young Grant as he faces one of childhood’s biggest milestones: his very first day of school.
Grant has his new backpack. His classroom is waiting. And he has about fifty butterflies racing around inside his tummy.
What if he doesn’t know anybody? What if he can’t find his classroom? And what if—perhaps worst of all—his teacher turns out to be a dragon?
With warmth, humor, and colorful illustrations, Grant’s First Day follows Grant from those nervous moments at home through his arrival at school, meeting his teacher, making a new friend, and discovering that something unfamiliar doesn’t have to remain frightening.
By the end of the day, the school that once seemed enormous doesn’t seem quite so big anymore.
A Year of Big Little Adventures
Grant’s First Day is only the beginning.
Grant’s Big Little Adventures is a seven-book series following Grant through the memorable moments of his first school year. Future stories will join Grant for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, the New Year, Easter, and finally his last day of school.
Each book will feature the same gentle humor and relatable childhood experiences introduced in Grant’s First Day, with stories centered on family, friendship, growing confidence, and discovering the world one little adventure at a time.
The idea behind the series is simple: adults sometimes forget just how enormous ordinary experiences can seem when we’re young. The first day of school, making a new friend, dressing up for Halloween, or celebrating a favorite holiday may seem like small moments later in life.
But when you’re little, even the smallest adventure can be a very big one.
