This book would be great as a first day of school read aloud so that students are not ashamed of their differences and despite their differences, they are always welcome.
Picturebook - I love this book! This book does a wonderful job portraying diversity and acceptance.
“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.
You could use this book to introduce a lesson on community within the classroom. Many teachers use this book to create classroom rules. Also works with many SEL terms and diversity within the classroom. You could use many key points from the book to create a masterpiece together.
