Description

Edición en inglés disponible.

¡Bienvenidos a la escuela!

Una escuela no es solo un edificio. Son sus estudiantes, sus maestros, sus ayudantes, sus directores, su personal y sus bibliotecarios... todas las personas que trabajan, aprenden y celebran juntas. Una escuela es un lugar para hacer descubrimientos y plantear preguntas. Es un lugar para explorar, para intentar y algunas veces para fallar, pero también para confiar. Es una comunidad para compartir y ayudar. Una escuela es un lugar para reunirse.

Este es el primer libro ilustrado de John Schu, uno de los maestros y bibliotecarios más queridos de Estados Unidos y un campeón global de la lectura y la literatura infantil. Con las ilustraciones exuberantes, cálidas e incluyentes de Veronica Miller Jamison, Esta es una escuela ofrece una jubilosa oda a la vida diaria en las escuelas que hará que los pequeños de todas partes se sientan emocionados al pensar en ese primer gran día.

A school isn't just a building; it is all the people who work and learn together. It is a place for discovery and asking questions. A place for sharing, for helping, and for community. It is a place of hope and healing, even when that community can't be together in the same room. John Schu, a librarian and former ambassador of school libraries for Scholastic, crafts a loving letter to schools and the people that make up the communities within in a picture book debut beautifully illustrated by Veronica Miller Jamison.

Starred Review

Schu emphasizes the school as a community, where growth, celebrations, transformations, and work all occur, providing a reassuring introduction to this near-universal experience.

Publishers Weekly

Making his picture book debut, librarian and book advocate Schu invites readers into a school community in which all voices are heard, each person learns, and everyone—and everything, including the plants in the school garden—grows. Starting with the school’s most basic unit (“This is a kid”), spreads pull back to reveal a brick building where children and adults of various abilities, ethnicities, and skin tones come and go, learning, talking, and working. Narration that spotlights “we” and mixed-media spreads by Miller Jamison (A Computer Called Katherine) focus on the communal rather than the individual. Learning means that things can be uncomfortable: “Sometimes we don’t have all the answers. Other days we just feel stuck.” In the spreads that follow, a child who’s “stuck” on a math lesson gets help from teachers and from a fellow student, too. Jamison’s palette uses a full spectrum of gently faded colors in friendly, sun-bleached spreads and vignettes. This introduction to school communities shows children what happens inside a classroom via a vision of school at its best—one that leaves readers with a sense of belonging and inclusion. Ages 4–8.
