About this title

Synopsis:

Walking to school can be hard if you live in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It's downright dangerous if you're a Catholic, like Allison, and the shortest route to your school goes through a Protestant neighborhood. But sometimes a ray of kindness cuts through the violence. That's what happens when a demonstrator rips a brass button off Allison's new school blazer, and a Protestant girl not only retrieves the button but returns it to Allison.

Once again, as in FLY AWAY HOME and the caldecott-winning SMOKY NIGHT, Eve Bunting finds a way to explore a complicated contemporary situation in terms that any young reader can immediately grasp.

From the Author:

"I write about what moves me, and I am moved by things in society, sad things...I grew up in Ireland and have realized that if there's ever going to be a true world or national community, people have to reach out to each other--to know other people who are different, people who aren't like you, and people who you think don't like you. My message in "Walking to School" is one of comng together and tolerance for other people." (Eve Bunting )
