About the Author
My name is Lilith, I am  7. My favorite food is noodles. My favorite color is red.

School is important because it’s a safe place for students to learn. We learn that kids in India go to school on a boat. The kids feel safe at school on the boat.

The difference is the kids go to school on a boat, and I go to school in a building.

We are similar, because we both have teachers.

School is important because it is a safe place for students to learn and feel safe.

Hi I am 7 and I like to eat pizza.

School is important to have a chance to know how to do things that can help you out with building a future.

In my school I learn math, reading, and social studies and I make friends.
The kids on boat schools learn the same things and also make friends.

No matter how or what your school looks like, you can learn.
