It's a child's first day of kindergarten, but who is worried about all the new people and the different things he'll meet--the child? No! The mother. In a refreshing reversal of roles, the child takes it upon himself to comfort and reassure his mother that everything will be fine, she'll get used to him going to big-kid school, and yes, he is ready for the first day of kindergarten. Utterly charming in its simplicity, Yum playfully uses size and color to reveal emotions of this milestone beginning.

《妈妈，今天是我第一天上学！》是美国新生代童书作家兼插画家廉惠媛的绘本作品。小男孩第一天上学，猜猜谁最担心？当然不是我们的小男孩！他装好了书包，都等不及马上冲进他的新教室了。可是，他的妈妈为他去上大孩子的学校做好准备了吗？
这本书文字简练，画风优美，文图配合得非常完美。廉惠媛运用水彩和彩铅结合的技法，极为巧妙地描绘了在这个对于孩子和父母来说都很特别的重大日子里，他们那种复杂纠结的情感。
