School Is Wherever I Am

Ellie Peterson's "School Is Wherever I Am" is a gentle, affirming picture book that redefines the concept of 'school' for young readers. It conveys the powerful message that learning is not confined to a building or a specific time, but is a continuous process fueled by an open mind and an open heart. The book encourages children to see the world as their classroom, finding lessons in everyday observations and interactions. This is an excellent choice for parents looking to broaden their child's understanding of education, especially for those who may be anxious about traditional schooling or who learn in unconventional ways. It provides comfort and validation, fostering a sense of curiosity and self-confidence in their innate ability to learn. It's a wonderful conversation starter for children aged 4-11, prompting discussions about where and how they discover new things.
