Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "Meeting a challenging topic with buoyant enthusiasm, this colorful picture book celebrates a school where all the students from a diverse community feel welcome. The rhyming verses create a sense of unity, as if students and staff are speaking in a happy chorus: No matter how you start your day. / What you wear when you play. / Or if you come from far away. / All are welcome here. / In our classroom safe and sound, / Fears are lost and hope is found. / Raise your hand, we'll go around. / All are welcome here. While some verses are complete within one double-page spread and others extend over several, their upbeat tone and inclusive message remain consistent throughout the book. The illustrations are big, cheerful collages created with acrylic paint, ink, crayon, and digital elements. In many scenes, white backgrounds brighten the colors and make the individual figures of children stand out more distinctly. On the book jacket's reverse side, a poster vividly proclaims the book's theme: All are welcome. A lively, timely picture book.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2018 Booklist"

Publisher's Weekly Review: "Penfold (Eat, Sleep, Poop) and Kaufman (I Love Monkey) celebrate a school community as a great common ground where families of all kinds connect and share in their children's educational journey: "No matter how you start your day./ What you wear when you play./ Or if you come from far away./ All are welcome here." Every child is different-readers get a brief glimpse of children's lives away from the classroom-but everyone shares a love for story time, recess, creating green slime and volcanoes, and making friends. Though one of Penfold's rhymes ("We're part of a community/ Our strength is our diversity./ A shelter from adversity") sounds more like a protest cheer than a poem, she is a passionate advocate for e pluribus unum throughout the story; the book's refrain of "All are welcome here" feels both deeply reassuring and almost radical in our polarized time. Kaufman smoothly choreographs her large cast throughout numerous scenes-including a school night potluck, as showcased in a spacious double gatefold-and it's fun to follow one friendship in particular as it blossoms between two girls. The inside of the book jacket doubles as a poster featuring the entire cast. Ages 4-8. Author's agent: Susan Ginsburg, Writers House. Illustrator's agent: Alexandra Penfold, Upstart Crow Literary.
