What does Rani see in her first day of school? How does she feel? Today is my first day of school. Mummy is holding my hand and walking with me. “I am grown up now,” I say. “Let go, let go!” Mummy holds my hand very tightly. There are many children near my new school. Some come by bus. Some come by car. Others come by rickshaw. A few of them cycle. And some walk like me. When we reach the gate, Mummy lets go of my hand. She stays at the gate, so I have to go inside alone. There are so many new faces all around me! I take one step. I take another step. I look back. Mummy gets smaller and smaller as I walk away. Will she disappear? I run back to her. I don’t feel so grown up anymore. I hold her hand. “Please don’t go away,” I say. Everyone but me is inside now. I am the only one outside. The teacher comes out and smiles at me. I smile back. Mummy says, \"Rani, I will be here when you come out.\" I let go of her hand and she waves goodbye to me. I run inside thinking “Mummy will be there after school!” Story: Cheryl Rao Illustrations: Mayur Mistry Music: Rajesh Gilbert Narration: Neha Gargava Animation: BookBox
