Running The Road To ABC

Description:

This buoyant and richly illustrated ABC picture book follows six Haitian children on their way to school—a Coretta Scott King Award winner!

Long before the sun even thinks of rising, the Haitian children run to school—over the hills, through the fields, across the city square. Under the bright morning sun, surrounded by the sounds of nature, the eager students journey through their nation’s hill and meadow regions to learn the letters, sounds, and words of their beautiful books at school.

This book has beautiful illustrations of Haiti. I went to Haiti in the summer on a medical mission trip to an orphanage. We are now adopting from Haiti. I was looking for a children's book to read to my toddlers about the Haitian culture/Haitian school children. It is great, just what I was looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!

We'll be using this book as a part of our Sunday School classes teaching about Haiti. It's really good, and a nice follow-up to the time in Sunday School we spent learning about the importance of education when we taught the Greg Mortenson's 3 Cups of Tea books . . .

The illustrations and the story are wonderfully evocative of life in Haiti. The students were enthralled with every detail and wanted to read it over and over.

I did a sunday school hour on Haiti, and we read this book. It led to a discussion on how long it took these kids to get to school everyday, and how they did not complain, because school was worth it to them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great picture book about Haiti

I've seen Haitian kids walking the mountain trails to a village school. The eagerness and all is very much in evidence.
