“First? Day of School” by Clara D Berry

“Honey, do you have your lunch?” I watch my mother’s lips in the rearview mirror of our car. She is worried, which makes sense since it’s my first day at a new school, despite being three months into the school year.“Don’t worry, Mom. It’s right here.

Author bio

A few notable things about me: I have a Master's Degree in Education and Special Education. I love to read, write, do mathematics, swim, sew, bike, crochet, bake, and play with kids. I especially like stories that incorporate foreign languages (preferably ones I actually understand, such as Spanish, NOT French) and don't translate afterwards. I am a perfectionist and a grammar freak, so I prefer my stories to have absolutely no errors. Since I am not perfect (nobody is, of course, but I am specifically referring to the fact that my first Reedsy story does have at least one error that can no longer be fixed), I am relying on your comments to fix any errors before it's too late. Please let me know if you find anything.
