Nice, simple book about letting all participate
Charles A. - 4 years 7 months agoFor any individual person, there are more people unlike you than there are like you. Therefore, it is very important that a child learn at an early age to be comfortable with people that look and act differently. Whether that be skin color, clothing worn, religious beliefs or social mores. The basic, simple and effective message of this book is that all people are welcome at their school and in their community. Using text as well as images drawn in a simple style, groups of children with a few adults are used to put forward the basic message that children quite naturally are drawn to. Namely, that while other kids may be different, they are still kids and generally are fun to play with. This is a nice book for inclusive training for the early elementary school child. It belongs in the curriculum of all elementary schools.

Great Book!
Bethany L. - 6 years 5 months agoI have had this book on my wishlist for a while and once I saw it listed for such a great price, I knew I had to buy it! This book will be perfect to read during the first week of school in my classroom. I am so excited to use it to facilitate discussions with my students about diversity and inclusivity of all people.
