各界好評

　　《世界的孩子上學去》不僅有教育意義，而且讓學習不同文化變得更有趣。很少人知道玻利維亞在哪裡或是有什麼東西，所以我很開心能看到這本書介紹了玻利維亞的特色。這本書會讓孩子們想要對世界上的國家有更多的了解。── Henry Tu 亨利／在臺灣的玻利維亞YOUTUBER

　　「你認為的理所當然，當然不是世界的理所當然」！這是一本可以讓小朋友和家長突破自己框架的好書。這幾年內，我們遇到了多少世界級的困難，到現在克服過來的我們知道，在現代，不是只追求自己國家的事情就好，各國要一起牽手面對世界上的問題。如果要實現這個目標，我們要積極的去了解彼此的生活。這本書介紹了各國的小朋友怎麼上學，是一本可以讓小朋友和家長突破自己框架的好書。了解你我視為理所當然的事物，其實並不一致的時候，才能開始互相尊重彼此的文化。──Iku老師／YOUTUBER

　　本書能夠激起孩子的好奇心（同時也希望讓他們對於上學心存感恩），啟發他們去思考相關的問題。──美國《科克斯評論》

Kids around the world get to school in unique ways. Take a peek inside this book and see how they reach their destinations

Children all around the world go to school. Whether they're from Japan, Ukraine, Ethiopia, or the United States, all students have the desire to learn about the world and shape the future. In Bhutan, children walk for three hours to make it to school, and in Pakistan, children travel by rickshaw. Some children in China must climb a heaven ladder, while children in Nepal must walk over a wire bridge. The treks of these students are unique, extraordinary, and even dangerous, and they signify the common determination, perseverance, and sense of adventure shared by young people around the world.

Read along as students from thirteen different nations embark on their journeys to get to school in the morning, and learn about the diverse landscapes and cultures of these countries along the way
