Yes.  And I was thinking of children historically who had little or no sc hool available:

More Than Anything Else by Marie Bradby Booker T. Washington by Thomas Amper Liberty Street by Candice Ransom

and the classic Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Margaret Taylor.  Any of these titles can help middle grade and older children appreciate that schoo l is available to them at all.

Or Nasreen's Secret School by Jeanette Winter.

Another perspective to introduce, is that some children don't have a school.  Or cannot go to school.  I suggest Yasmin's Hammer by Ann Malaspina.
