Hi, I’m Little Ellis.
I am five years old.

I live in an animal-shaped house.  There is a little river next to it.
My family owns a lovely garden on both sides of the river.

‧‧‧

It’s my first day at school.
I’m so nervous.

‧‧‧

I’m nervous about …
Teachers
Homework
Making friends,     and
Classes
but, worst of all…

‧‧‧

…not having my parents with me.
No hugs and kisses
Nobody to answer my questions quickly.
No help in the bathroom
No one to share my jokes and chat with.
