Author: Shantdas Manandhar

Illustrator: Abin Shrestha

Translator: Stephanie Wei

"Look Munu, this is our school. Isn't it a nice school?"

"At school we have a ground to play in and a garden to dance in. Our school is so much fun!"

"When we dance there, our feet don’t tire.

When we sing there, our voices don’t tire."

"We are all children of our mother, and every year we grow up."

"Everybody goes to the next class at school."

"Reading is so much fun

It’s almost like singing and dancing."

"The classrooms are so clean, and our friends look so neat."

"Look how our teachers speak lovingly to all of us."

"Look at this library!

From your heart, Munu, how do you feel?"

"Everyone is sitting together nicely in the library reading."

"All the books are our good friends who never say no to us."

"Wherever we go, we can borrow the books from the library, and they come with us."

"The books never get tired of being with us. They are good friends."

"Is there another school like ours?"
