The story behind Elijah's First Day In 1st Grade

​

Ethan, just like Elijah, has experienced some 'firsts' in his life and understands the fear and anxiety that young children just like him will have to face.  Ethan writes to encourage all young readers that they can fearlessly face these ‘first’ experiences. Successfully overcoming them has given him the courage to face each new beginning and his books show how the main character Elijah also overcame his greatest fear on his first day.
