What if the journey to school became one of the best parts of the day?
Every morning, Shi, Rav, Mom, and Dad leave home for school. They follow the same route, but every walk brings something new.
A squirrel hiding acorns. An earthworm after the rain. A dog with a wagging tail. Towering trees, puddles, pine cones, colourful murals, changing seasons, and endless questions. Along the way, everyday moments become opportunities to notice, wonder, laugh, learn, and occasionally disagree.
Inspired by the author's family walks, On the Way to School is a heartwarming chapter book that gently weaves together storytelling, nature, science, history, and everyday family life. Through curiosity, conversation, and shared discovery, it reminds us that some of life's most meaningful lessons are waiting just outside our front door.
Inside you'll discover:- A heartwarming family story inspired by real-life experiences
- Wildlife, trees, ecosystems, and the changing seasons through the eyes of curious children
- Gentle connections to Indigenous wisdom, art, and our relationship with the land
- Conversations that encourage curiosity, observation, and meaningful discussions
- Inspiration for families to slow down, notice nature, and enjoy everyday walks together
Perfect for independent readers and equally enjoyable as a family read-aloud, On the Way to School is an invitation to step outside, walk together, and discover that the ordinary often holds extraordinary moments.
Take a walk.
Ask a question.
Stay curious.
You may discover something you never noticed before.
