First day around the world / written by Ibi Zoboi ; illustrated by Juanita Londoño.

1st day around the world (other title)
Zoboi, Ibi Aanu, (author.). Londoño, Juanita, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"How do children around the world spend their first day of school? Some eat warm akara for breakfast in Nigeria, while others unwrap lunches of kluski in Poland. In China, they practice intricate characters in special notebooks, and in Argentina, they learn each other's names in a singsong memory game. No matter where they are in the world, every student has something new to look forward to on their first day! From Ethiopia to Germany to India to Brazil, this lyrical text introduces young readers to the breakfast-to-bedtime routines, cultures, and landscapes that connect people across all continents" -- Jacket flap.
