Rosemary A. McCarney - Author
A visually led look at the varied ways children reach school, moving beyond familiar transport to journeys involving water, steep routes, animals and challenging conditions.
Your way to school might be by yellow bus, bicycle or car, but around the world children are also getting to class by canoe, through tunnels, up ladders, by donkey, water buffalo or ox cart. In Rosemary McCarney's The Way to School, a collection of gorgeous, full-color photographs of schoolchildren from Myanmar, Ghana, Brazil, China, Canada and beyond, readers will see that the path to school can be "long and hard and even scary" depending on the lay of the land, the weather, even natural disasters.

The path to school may be long, hard or scary depending on the land, weather and natural disasters.
Some journeys are described as long, hard or scary, and natural disasters are mentioned; a child may want reassurance or a pause when discussing these conditions.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
