5.0 out of 5 stars Beatuiful Book
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 . . .
5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars
One of the absolute best from the art to the text to the point of reading it at all.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great picture book about Haiti
Another great Haitian picture book - beautiful pictures that capture the color and spirit of Haiti and its people.
4.0 out of 5 stars interesting book
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 A beautiful story
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Review for Running The Road to ABC
Great Book to add to my lessons on Haiti. Actually bought other books on Haiti. All were used from libray. In excellent condition.
5.0 out of 5 stars Yes.
I've seen Haitian kids walking the mountain trails to a village school. The eagerness and all is very much in evidence.
