FROM SARAH:

"School" can mean many different things, and nobody knows his better than a homeschooling family! In this book set in Chad, Africa, the children build a school as their first "lesson." Lovely, inspiring, a joy to read aloud.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

It is the first day of school in Chad, Africa. Children are filling the road. "Will they give us a notebook?" Thomas asks. "Will they give us a pencil? Will I learn to read?" But when he and the other children arrive at the schoolyard, they find no classroom, no desks. Just a teacher. "We will build our school," she says. "This is our first lesson."
