Description
In this book we visit 15 schools in various corners of the world to see how kids learn in different countries or cultures.
Kids go to school all around the world, but the types of schools or the school systems vary from place to place. Would you like to see where kids in Japan or in Himalayas go to school? Would you like to know how a school on a boat works? Or what a school in a rainforest looks like? This book will show you that while some schools are pretty similar to what you know, others can be completely different and surprising.
In each chapter a local kid poses as a guide who introduces us to the type of school or a school system of a certain country or culture. Kids will learn that every nation has its own way of learning and that difference is what makes each culture special.

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!
