Private Schooling Direct, a free online resource for parents seeking PreK-12th grade private education options for their children, today announced a marketing partnership with Wading River Books for promotion of their new children’s release, Tomorrow is the First Day of School.
What will I wear? What if the children don't like me? What will it really be like? These questions and anxieties are typical of many children the day before school. Tomorrow is the First Day of School (Wading River Books/$15.95) is a beautifully illustrated journey of a young girl as she prepares for the big first day.
The book will be promoted on the Private Schooling Direct online resource (www.privateschoolingdirect.com), currently used by over 25,000 parents each month as they seek private school programs for their children.
The book's author, Maureen MacDowell, is a teacher for the Three Village School District, NY. She has been teaching elementary education for nine years. Mrs. MacDowell (then Miss Barbera) wrote Tomorrow is the First Day of School after her first day as a kindergarten teacher. She graduated from Dowling College with a Master's Degree in Elementary Education. The illustrator, Max Hergenrother, is a teacher for the Department of Fine Arts at St. John's University. Max graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York. He also freelances as a professional illustrator and designer.
