Rukia Goes to School

This is a darling reader for second, third or fourth graders about a child in Kenya, Africa, and her excitement about being able to attend school. Beautifully illustrated with lovely pen and ink drawings and watercolor on the cover, it helps instill a reverence for education and the privilege felt to have it in another country even as it helps young readers gain mastery. It gives songsters a good story while they master reading. This is a small but significant treasure worth having at home or in any classroom!
