My First Day of School - Kuv Thawj Nub Moog Kawm Ntawv

A first-day-of-school story for children who are nervous about it, following Suab Zoo through what actually happens, with English and Hmong on the page. The reason this record exists separately is the dialect: this is the Mong Leng edition, and you can read that off the title before opening the book — Kuv Thawj Nub Moog rather than Kuv Thawj Hnub Mus. Green Mong is badly underserved in print, and a publisher issuing the same book in both dialects instead of defaulting to White Hmong is doing something this catalog has almost no other examples of. Self-published, so the production is modest. Useful less as a story than as a tool: it is the book to hand a Mong Leng family the week before school starts. For ages 3 to 6, preschools, and kindergarten transition programs.
