“…the book’s refrain of All are welcome here feels both deeply reassuring and almost radical in our polarized time.”
–Publishers Weekly

Bienvenue! (All Are Welcome)

Written by Alexandra Penfold
Illustrated by Suzanne Kaufman
Published by Scholastic

Follow a group of children through a day in their school, where everyone is welcomed with open arms. A school where kids in patkas, hijabs, and yarmulkes play side-by-side with friends in baseball caps. A school where students grow and learn from each other’s traditions and the whole community gathers to celebrate the Lunar New Year. All Are Welcome lets young children know that no matter what, they have a place, they have a space, they are welcome in their school.

Look for the English version, All Are Welcome.
