Book Review: “On My Way To School” A New Kid’s Book by Sarah Maizes

On My Way To School

On My Way To School, is a new kid’s book by Sarah Maizes, my amazing friend, writer, mom of three and parenting humorist. The third in a series, On My Way To School is inspired by Sarah’s daughter Livi, who is the book’s central character. As you can imagine, Livi is just as adorable in real-life as she is in the book.

 

As every parent knows, getting kids ready for school can be a struggle on even the best mornings. Add in a few mishaps and the word “routine” goes out the window. On My Way To School takes its readers on a fun-filled journey, as Livi makes her way to school–very, very s-l-o-w-l-y. Livi procrastinates and lets her imagination take over, creating silly characters and lots of reasons why she just can’t go to school. From becoming a slimy snail to cooking an elaborate breakfast and then strutting into school as a movie star waiving to her fans, it’s a miracle Livi finally arrives at school. Sarah Maizes has written a warm, witty book that will have your kids listening (or reading) closely and possibly even mimicking some of Livi’s hilarious morning activities. Your kids will ADORE this book!

 

“Livi’s vibrant imagination and abundant energy leap off the pages.” —Publishers Weekly
