Description
On the first day of school in Chad, Africa, children gather eagerly. Thomas and his friends are eager to learn, but they're not sure what to expect. When they arrive at the schoolyard, they find no classroom or desks - just a teacher who says, "We will build our school." This is their first lesson.
James Rumford, who lived in Chad as a Peace Corps volunteer, brings the vibrant colors of Africa to life through his illustrations and spare words. He shows how important learning is in a country where only a few children are able to go to school. With simple yet powerful prose, he shares the value of education.
