Ms. Victory’s First Day Jitters

Have you ever felt those scary jitters before a big day? Well, it turns out that grown-ups get jitters too-even your teachers! Ms. Victory is a second-grade teacher, and she's a bundle of worry on the night before school starts. She imagines all the embarrassing "what-ifs" that could go wrong. Will she wear mismatched shoes? Trip on stage at assembly? Forget her lunch?

But then, Ms. Victory remembers what to do when she gets scared, and she declares her favorite Bible verses out loud. Her fear lifts like a cloud, and she starts seeing things differently.

What if everything goes right? What if the students love her songs and laugh at her jokes? And most importantly, what if Ms. Victory helps her class discover the love of Jesus?

Ms. Victory's First Day Jitters is a charming, faith-filled story that will encourage young readers to face anxiety with faith and courage. Join Ms. Victory on this colorful journey as she grows in her confidence in Christ and remembers that with God, anything is possible!

Angel Vik, born and raised in Oklahoma, is a devoted mother of five and proud grandmother of three lively grandsons. As an occupational therapy practitioner, she has spent a good deal of her career working in a school setting. Outside the classroom, she enjoys serving as a children's church minister alongside her husband Todd. Her favorite pastimes include spending time with family and friends, baking, traveling, being outdoors, and time spent in worship.

The inspiration for Vik's book, Ms. Victory's First Day Jitters, was a poem she wrote for her second-grade class, which quickly became a hit with her students. She gives all the Glory to God for giving her this story. She prays this book serves as a fun way to help equip children with spiritual tools to overcome anxiety and fear.
