Going to School

Who would have thought that going to school in India could be such fun?Riding in a phat phat in rural Gujarat; pulled in a rickshaw in Kolkata or a bullock cart inMaharashtra; driven by friendly soldiers in an army truck in Kargil; crossing a rope bridge inNagaland; floating in vallams in Kerala; whirling across a raging river on an iron rope swing inLadakh?every day millions of children go to school in India in a million different ways. By bus, by boat, on foot, even in wheelchairs. Going to School in India is a celebration of this diversity, showing us children from every walk of life in their wildly different classrooms. It shows us whatthey share; and whether they study in a tent in the middle of a mud desert, or in a school on wheels, or in the dark, it shows us that school is fun.Wonderfully narrated and gorgeously illustrated, Going to School will transport you and your childinto the real India.
