This Is a School: (An Inclusive Classroom Tale About Curiosity, Creativity, and Community - For Kids Ages 4-8) (This Is Our World) - Hardcover
Book 1 of 2: This Is Our World
Synopsis
A moving celebration of school and all it may signify: work and play, creativity and trust, and a supportive community that extends beyond walls
A school isn’t just a building; it is all the people who work and learn together. It is a place for discovery and asking questions. A place for sharing, for helping, and for community. It is a place of hope and healing, even when that community can’t be together in the same room. John Schu, a librarian and former ambassador of school libraries for Scholastic, crafts a loving letter to schools and the people that make up the communities within in a picture book debut beautifully illustrated by Veronica Miller Jamison.

PreS-Gr 3-This book opens with a single student, from a single class that goes out into a single hallway, and shows readers a school teeming with life. A solid choice for classrooms and libraries looking for updated beginning of the year or school stories.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
