All Are Welcome follows a group of students through their day of school, where they talk about all of their unique qualities and that despite all the things that make them different from one another, all are welcome in their classroom. This book sends a message to students that no matter who they are or where they come from, they have a safe place where they are protected, school.

 

This book is most appropriate for lower elementary classrooms because of how simple it is, but like "I am Enough", I would have this book in my classroom regardless of the grade because it is so important for students to feel represented and spoken for. I would use this as a read-aloud in a lower elementary classroom to lead the conversation into one about celebrating our differences.
