HTML:<p><i>A memorable, compelling story about the perseverance of a child and the human right to education.</i></p> <p>The sky is still dark when a young boy leaves home for school. He has a long path ahead: nine kilometers—over five-and-a-half miles—through the mountains and rain forests of Chile. But the boy doesn’t mind. While he walks, he can count butterflies and lizards, and he can think about where the 15,000 steps he takes every morning could lead. Nine kilometers could bring the boy across ninety soccer fields, up the world’s ten largest buildings, or into a classroom at last…</p> <p><br /> Set against the lush backdrop of southern Chile, this book features one of the many children around the world who travel long distances in order to go to school. After the story, thoughtfully illustrated back matter explores the unique birds of Chile and the courage of similar students’ journeys in other countries. Striking and timely,&#160;<i>9 Kilometers</i>&#160;will open lasting conversations about social inequalities, the value of learning, and the resilience of those who push past obstacles toward a better future.</p>. 50. 1. 2.
