Kindergarten and preschool graduation gift
A graduation gift for the smallest graduates
A tiny cap and gown, a walk across the stage, a rolled-up diploma. Kindergarten and preschool graduation is one of the sweetest days of the school year in the United States, and a book in which your child is the graduate keeps it.

A day worth keeping
In the United States, kindergarten and preschool graduations take place at the end of the school year, usually in May or June.3 Children wear small caps and gowns, walk across a stage to collect a diploma, often to “Pomp and Circumstance”, and the photos end up on every relative's fridge.12
It's a milestone the child will half remember. A book can hold what the photos don't: the friend they sat next to all year, the teacher's name, the song they practised, what they want to be when they grow up.
In the story, your child is the graduate: the day itself, or an adventure that looks back on the year and forward to the next. Classmates, the teacher, grandparents in the front row: up to 5 characters can appear.
For grandparents and godparents who can't be there on the day, the eBook is a present that arrives in time from anywhere: it's ready about half an hour after you buy.
You read the whole story for free before you decide. The hardcover is delivered to 214 countries and territories, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States and Canada; in Europe and North America it arrives in up to 13 working days after you approve the finished book.
Three story ideas
- On graduation morning, the child's cap blows away, and the chase through the school turns into a tour of everything they learnt this year.
- The child and their best friend look back on the year: the first day, the class pet, the song they practised for weeks.
- The child walks across the stage, and on the other side a new adventure begins: the first day of first grade.
