Selected for the CBC’s 2023 June Hot Off The Press Reading List "There are so many differences and lots of similarities as well among the vast variety of schools throughout the world. Learning more about what each offers and how they work will only serve to enhance one’s knowledge of the world and its many people and cultures." —Beth Rodgers, YA Books Central "I really loved the design of this book and the way the information is broken up into small paragraphs for easy reading. The illustrations are really cute and colorful. It’s so fun to learn about all these different modes of education around the world!" —Luminous Libro Blog "The writing is friendly and conversational. Every spread has a different school with several blocks of text covering different aspects of the school arranged around a central illustration, showing children in the particular school setting. The illustrations are bright and inviting with plenty of details to keep youngsters engaged." —Rosi Hollinbeck, San Francisco Book Review "The book is educational and even surprising at times. Each chapter has stationed a local child guide and narrator to describe what their specific school is like making the book relatable and friendly to the reader. This delightful book is a celebration of education and I highly recommend it!" —Storywraps "This fascinating book gives children an inside look at schools around the world, from Australia to Uganda, including their main features (conservation of nature is essential when you go to school in the rainforest) and the role of teachers (teachers are also coaches as a sports school). A fun way to build empathy and curiosity about the lives of children around the world, as well as to give children a fresh perspective on their own unique schooling." —All Done Monkey
