Description

What is school like for kids around the world? Let’s take a look.

This fascinating nonfiction book for kids explores 15 schools in different countries and cultures, showing how children learn in many surprising ways. Young readers travel from classrooms in Japan to schools in the Himalayas, from rainforest learning spaces to schools on boats. Along the way, they discover that while some schools look familiar, others are shaped by geography, culture, and daily life in ways that are completely different.

Each chapter is guided by a local child who introduces readers to their school and learning environment, offering a personal and relatable perspective. Perfect for curious kids, this book helps readers understand that there is no single way to learn and that differences in education reflect the richness of cultures around the world. Ideal for independent reading, classroom discussions, or global studies, this book encourages curiosity, empathy, and an appreciation for how kids everywhere experience school.

The authors made some very thoughtful and unusual choices in the fifteen schools presented here. The format is interesting and an adult and a child reading it together could have many conversations based on each school. The information is presented well and the illustrations are lovely.
It's also the kind of book that could pull in a reluctant reader and for this reason, I believe it would be a solid addition to any school classroom library. Additionally, it would be a good book for a family considering a move so that children could see how different one school can be from the next.

As someone whose child was enrolled in school in Japan, I found some small inaccuracies in that section, but not enough to bother me. It's a good jumping off point for any child and adult interested in school systems.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this thoughtful book. I'm so glad it is going out in the world!
