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 moving celebration of school and all it may signify: work and play, creativity and trust, and a supportive community that extends beyond walls
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.
John Schu is the author of the picture books This Is a School, illustrated by Veronica Miller Jamison, and This Is a Story, illustrated by Lauren Castillo, as well as the New York Times best-selling young adult novel Louder Than Hunger. He is also a children’s librarian at Bookelicious and a part-time lecturer at Rutgers University. He was previously the Ambassador of School Libraries for Scholastic Book Fairs and has worked as a classroom teacher and school librarian. He travels all over the world visiting schools and meeting with students, teachers, and administrators as he advocates for the people and things he cares about most: kids, books, schools, and the libraries—and librarians—that connect them. John Schu lives in Naperville, Illinois. You can find his popular blog, Watch. Connect. Read., at www.JohnSchu.com and follow him @MrSchuReads.
