What is Late For School about?

A boy wakes up and discovers that he is late for school. In a frantic dash across town, he races down stairs, zooms past neighbours and takes increasingly wild shortcuts through the streets. Every obstacle turns his journey into a thrilling adventure, but when he finally reaches school, he discovers a surprising mistake that changes everything. With energetic rhymes, lively action and a playful twist, this funny picture book celebrates imagination, family and the unexpected joys of a very unusual morning.
