Dad tries to reassure her as best as he can and reminds her it also his first day at work in his new job. But somehow that doesn't really help Rosie get rid of the feelings of rocks in her tummy. Luckily, Rosie has met her kindly new teacher.

Dad takes her to school and wishes her good luck as he watches her walk through the busy playground where she's greeted by her new teacher Miss Marshall.

Once in the new classroom it is so noisy until Miss Marshall has a neat little trick to quieten everyone down (no spoilers here) as she introduces Rosie to the class. One of the other little girls is assigned to  help Rosie settle in.

Before long Rosie can show her new classmates how good she on the slide in the playground and  she thrilled when they all want to learn how she does it. That makes her feel a little easier, as does the art class - Rosie is good at drawing.

At the end of the day, Rosie and her dad go home and even the special dinner he's planned doesn't seem to allay her fears, nor does the normally lovely bubble bath help. That's when while she's in bed, Frederick the friendship angel comes to visit. Frederick who lives high up in the stars, has heard Rosie's anguish and he's determined to help her.

The next day it's snowing heavily and while waiting for her dad to fetch her after school, Rosie begins to worry. That's when Frederick the friendship angel's magic kicks into play. Before long Rosie has a new friend who's mum just happens to help out her dad who can't dig his car out of the snow, which is why he's late.

This really is a most charming, delightful and I found somewhat emotional (happy) book. It includes an a friendship guardian bookmark atached with a ribbon. I'm delighted to say I'd recommend this book for any children moving to a new school or starting school.
