The Way to School - Hardcover

"[The Way to School] is both a fascinating look at school around the world and a very subtle message to readers to appreciate what they have" -Kirkus Reviews; "This book helps remind us how much effort some children have to make to get to school every day. Each page features striking photographs of their journeys, over flood waters, up cliffs, along tightropes, wires or rickety bridges... Through these images, we can all reflect on the journeys we and others make each day" -Juno Magazine.

Minimal text and stunning photographs from around the world describe the remarkable, and often dangerous, journeys children make every day on their way to and from school. No simple school bus picks them up each day, but rather children travel through disaster zones, cross rapids, climb mountains, and maneuver on ziplines daily to get to the classroom. Some of them even carry their desks!
