The Way to School, by Rosemary McCarney, Plan International From School Library Journal K-Gr 3—This compelling photo essay from McCarney, president and CEO of Plan International Canada, an international agency devoted to helping children in developing nations, presents the physical challenges of going to school. Spare text and beautiful images powerfully and accessibly demonstrate how environmental hazards, rough terrains, and poverty impede children from reaching their destination. Each picture speaks to the importance of education and the determination of kids around the world who are willing to risk their lives to attain it. Labeled with the name of the country where it was taken, each photograph emphasizes the stark contrast between the average American student and others around the world who traverse hazards and obstacles for the chance to get an education. VERDICT An excellent starting point to discuss diversity and culture in the primary grades.—Annette Herbert, F. E. Smith Elementary School, Cortland, NY
Review [The Way to School] is both a fascinating look at school around the world and a very subtle message to readers to appreciate what they have. (Kirkus Reviews 2015-06-26)Spare text and beautiful images powerfully and accessibly demonstrate how environmental hazards, rough terrains, and poverty impede children from reaching their destination....An excellent starting point to discuss diversity and culture in the primary grades. (School Library Journal 2015-09-01)Not only does this beautiful book deserve a place in every school library, but I’d recommend it for every home library as well — and encourage parents to share it with their school-age offspring. (Montreal Gazette 2015-08-26)For a children’s story with few words, it’s one of the most powerful books I have read in a while. (Inside Toronto 2015-08-26)This is a magnificent book for teachers to use in the classroom at the start of a new school year... this book belongs in every school library. (Children's Book Heal 2015-09-11)In this series of characterful, evocative photographs from around the world, McCarney illustrates the lengths and effort some kids put into their daily journeys. And the adventure and peril just makes clear what’s at the heart of their journeys — the determination and value they have for their own education. Inspiration, solidarity, even a little envy — a picture book to inspire all three. (Toronto Star 2015-09-12)Buoyant and beautiful, The Way to School is a deeply powerful illustration of the importance of education and the universal drive to learn. (Shelf Awareness 2015-09-15)Though its message is subtle, The Way to School celebrates schools and the importance of education and is well worthy of purchase. Highly Recommended. (CM: Canadian Review of Materials 2015-09-18)Although this book is accessible to young readers, it would also make a wonderful read aloud for a primary class at the beginning of the school year. (Canadian Teacher Magazine 2015-09-08)Striking color photographs illustrate this vivid reminder that everyday life challenges some young people much more than others, and that schooling is so valuable that it makes even the most difficult journeys worthwhile! Highly recommended, especially for public and early grade school library picturebook collections. (The Midwest Book Review 2016-01-25)While the United States is no stranger to Mother Nature’s fury, The Way to School sheds light on the obstacle course paths some students tackle when they leave home.... The one thing the students in this book all have in common is that they're happy to be at school, once they arrive. (The Charlotte Observer 2016-02-23)[The Way to School] is able to show that different communities have very distinct experiences when going to school and a number of them not too pleasant... Despite all these differences the book shows how much children love being in school. This is a book recommended for public libraries and children's rooms everywhere. (The Deakin Review of Children's Literature 2016-03-07)[The Way To School]’s captivating photography of the difficulty of these journeys could inspire students to appreciate and value their own education. (ETFO Voice 2016-03-18)

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. How do you get to school? By Paul Mastin If your parents ever told you (or you have ever told your kids!) what a tough time you had getting to school, uphill both ways, ten miles in waist-deep snow, etc., even your exaggerations probably won't match up to the journeys to school taken by the children in The Way to School. Rosemary McCarney, who works for Plan International Canada, has gathered images from around the world showing children on their way to school.If these kids ever have kids, they will have stories to tell about getting to school. "We had to crawl across a damaged bridge, in danger of falling into a river." "I rode a water buffalo to school." "We climbed a high ladder to crawl over a cliff." "We climbed over mountain and went through a tunnel in the mountain." "We walked across a glacier on the way to school." "We had to carry our own desks to school." Or, "You're lucky to go to school. We were too poor for school." Or, "I couldn't go to school because our school was destroyed by an earthquake/typhoon/tsunami." You get the idea.The photographs are beautiful in the various settings. The joy the children share in going to school is evident. I love this kind of book, that makes the world seem bigger, by showing people from around the world, and smaller, by showing universal shared experiences. My kids' schools are very different from the schools or the ways to school in The Way to School. But I can see my kids and their classmates in the faces of these kids around the world.Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!

I gave both of them as a gift to my two favorite principals to put in their office library for those children who are what we teachers call "frequent flyers". It's a great book for children to see how other children around the world get to school in spite of the obstacles put in their way. It really shows the importance of going to school.
