Is school only one place?
Are there other classrooms?
Different teachers?
New Lessons?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
From the "brick building with big doors and rectangle windows" where they attend school most days, a bespectacled child with light brown skin wonders, "Where else is school?" Contemplating various types of learning, the narrator mulls over whether school can be found in visits to the zoo or a museum, on hikes with Mom, Nana's kitchen ("Where I overstuff the potstickers"), or even "when I'm learning things all by myself." Author-illustrator Peterson, a former teacher, handily indicates an affirmative answer to these questions, and many more. Soft-edged digital art exhibits a plethora of learning opportunities—indoors, outdoors, via remote learning, in the bathtub—fueled by the child's curiosity and the experiences they share with their loving family, inspiring readers to see "school," and various types of intelligence, in new ways. Ages 6–8.
