All Are Welcome showcases a school that celebrates 
diversity in an intentional way. The illustrations include students who are differently abled, students wearing clothing specific to their culture, family structure diversity, being different in all the amazing ways possible, and sharing a community culture that says, “Be who you are. ALL are welcome.” The text is very simple, allowing readers to explore the complexity of the illustrations. This is a great book for exploring what it means to belong and how we can help one another feel welcomed as valued members of our community.
