LOOK INSIDE A FIRSTS & MILESTONES BOOK

First Day at School

Oliver stood at the big school gate with his new backpack and a fluttery feeling in his tummy. Mum squeezed his hand, and his teacher smiled kindly. Inside, he painted, listened, laughed and made a new friend called Noah. By home time, Oliver realised brave beginnings can turn into wonderful days.

A new beginning becomes a reassuring story shaped around their feelings, family and growing confidence.

Learning to Ride

On a bright Saturday morning, Oliver gripped the handlebars while Dad jogged beside him. The pavement felt wide and wobbly, but he kept going. One push, then another, and suddenly he was riding alone. Wind rushed past his cheeks as his laugh rang out. Oliver had not only balanced his bike—he had balanced his fear too.

The people beside them, the challenge they faced and the moment they believed in themselves can all become part of the book.

First Sports Day

On a sunny morning, Oliver raced across the playground with his little legs pumping fast. Mum and Dad cheered from the side while his teacher clapped proudly. He did not come first, but when he reached the finish line, Oliver beamed. His ribbon reminded him that trying bravely can feel just as special as winning.

Celebrate effort, courage and the people who make every proud first feel special.
