A book about school as a community, and the wide variety of people who attend school and work at school.

Very simple but enjoyable. I especially appreciate the gender-neutral language - when I was pointing things out to my niece I accidentally called two students “a boy” and “a girl” but the book calls them “a student” and “another student” and I should be more careful.

"This is a word. This is a word on a page. This is a page in a book." Castillo's wonderfully warm illustrations showcase the library as the place to discover books (specific ones that readers might recognize) and lose yourself in stories.
