Schools around the World
From the Series Welcome to My World
In this beautiful photographic book, young readers will meet children from around the world and go to school with them in their many different types of classrooms.
- Discover a single room Maasai classroom in the Tanzanian desert that has a dirt floor and walls made from branches.
- Visit a school on a remote Scottish island that has just four pupils!
- Join Japanese students as they practice their monthly earthquake drill, and meet nomad children in Kenya who borrow books from a library that travels on the back of a camel.
- The book includes a world map that pinpoints where every story comes from.
In this book, young readers will learn that while classrooms can look very different, all over the world kids enjoy going to school to learn to read, do math, enjoy art, and take part in activities such as singing, dancing, and making music.
Supported with stunning, detailed photos, this book is an engaging nonfiction read and a fascinating exploration of school life.
