Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks
Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks

School's out; ten blocks, ten vibrant stories.

"Look Both Ways" is perfect for itching your curiosity about the whirlwind of life after the school bell. It's a mosaic of ten tales, each a colorful detour into the lives of young students. It feels like being part of those carefree, candid conversations that only happen when kids think adults aren't listening. Add a dash of the unexpected – like a sky-falling school bus – and you've got a book that's as amusing as it is heartwarming.

Description

Parents, siblings, teachers, coaches, nosy neighbours, babysitters - there's not much of your day that isn't dictated by someone else. Unless you walk home from school - walkers have independence - those fifteen-minutes from school to home, completely unsupervised. What waits for them is the mischief of curiosity, allies and enemies, a taste of freedom, and plenty of humour.
