Welcome to Litsy!

“We‘re part of a community. Our strength is our diversity. A shelter from adversity. All are welcome here.”

Many teachers read this at the beginning of the year in their classrooms. It is a great way to introduce class families and acceptance.

All Are Welcome is a book about inclusivity, specifically in the classroom. Children from all different cultures are illustrated in vibrant colors. I really like the style of drawing in the illustrations, as it shows enough detail that you can see diversity without looking too realistic.

“All are welcome here.“

I would use this in my classroom to show that everyone is included and welcome into my class. I want all of my students to feel inclusive.

In the book, “All are Welcome,“ it shows diversity within a school and community demonstrating that everyone is welcome. This book shows representations of different cultures and races. The illustrations also include the use of white space, creating a colorful and happy feel with the pictures.

Blurb: This will be used to welcome my students into the classroom on the first day of school. There will be a discussion on how it is okay for us to look and sound different. We have to be respectful of one another.

Review:
This book uses colors to make the characters stand out against the white background. The use of repetition is also used. The author says, “You are welcome here“ on every page or so. Space is used as a way of making the moral of the story stand out so that it is not getting lost in the background.

I would use this book at the very beginning of the year with students of all ages as a reminder that everyone is unique, and that that is something that will not only be accepted in the classroom, but encouraged and celebrated. It is important to remind students that their life experiences do not look like everyone else's and that it is important to be open to learning about and understanding different ideas, perspectives, customs, and values.

“All Are Welcome“ is a picture book that uses lots of variety within all elements of design in order to portray its main message that diversity and uniqueness is something to celebrate and will always be welcome in the classroom. For example, thin/thick and curvy/straight lines, every vibrant color in the rainbow, different sizes and shapes of pictures representing different perspectives are all used to help emphasize the main message of diversity

This RL, New York Times Best Time Seller book, All Are Welcome Here is a phenomenal book that teaches students about inclusion no matter where they come from or who they are. The teacher can do LC because it provides time for expression. Students can ask questions and the teacher can go further into the lesson. This book is a must-have to have in the classroom.

I thought this was a book forum but I noticed that it is until someone wants to use it for personal agenda. This is not a lecture it is just good bye. Won't stand by while the person who introduce me to this forum is raked over the coals it it.

This easy read was so uplifting. Reminds me that is what the library is all about. Can't wait for the doors to be open once again. Great book for all ages. Never too old or young for this lesson.

If you are looking for a diverse and inclusive picture book, this is it. It is a little simplistic, but it is comforting, and it is a worthy message. My son was fascinated with the Chinese dragons included, and we ended up watching videos about them after we read this. “We‘re part of a community./Our strength is our diversity./A shelter from adversity./All are welcome here.”

“We‘re part of a community. Our strength is our diversity. A shelter from adversity. All are welcome here.” ❤️❤️❤️

A very cute and important picture book about celebrating everyone's uniqueness and making sure everyone feels welcomed in our neighborhoods, schools, and cities!
