First Day of School - HUM 532 HSC 69139093

Every big journey starts with a single step, and First Day of School (HUM 532) captures that poignant moment of childhood hesitation. This shy little blonde boy, dressed in his smart green jacket, stands with his head slightly bowed and his blackboard tucked under his arm. You can almost see him tottering back and forth, unsure of the adventure that awaits inside the classroom.

But there is so much to learn and so many friends to meet—be brave, little boy! This figurine is a heartfelt tribute to the milestones of growing up. Featuring the prestigious Trademark 10 backstamp, it represents the continued legacy of M.I. Hummel craftsmanship. It is the quintessential gift for a child starting their education, a retiring teacher, or a collector who loves the "Back to School" motif.

School is much more fun with friends! Pair the First Day of School with these other active scholars:

• The Professor (HUM 320/0): The mentor who will guide this shy little boy through his lessons (and perhaps share what's in that secret blue notebook!).

• School Days (HUM 2220): A bright-eyed boy companion who can show him that school isn't so scary after all.

• School Boy (HUM 82 2/0): For a classic classroom scene featuring the traditional leather satchel and Alpine hat.
