Review of
All are Welcome,
by Alexandra Penfold and Suzanne Kaufman ISBN 9781338741858
Five out of five stars
Nice, simple book about letting all participate
For 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.
