Readers travel with a Chilean boy as walks nine kilometers to school. First person narration creates an intimacy with the reader as the boy shares his thoughts while he walks. Readers will be astounded about how early he arises to go to school and the variety of terrain he traverses. After the story the author includes extra information about how far other children travel to school in different countries and also includes about details about the birds featured throughout the book.
I liked the design and layout of the book. This book would be a great "first day of school" read aloud.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
