All Are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold

“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 yamulkes 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.” (Taken from Goodreads)

 

 

 

My Teacher is a Monster! by Peter Brown

You see, his teacher is a monster.
But when Bobby runs into his teacher outside of school, he learns there is more to her than meets the eye.” (Taken from Goodreads)

 

 

 

 

 

School’s First Day of School by Adam Rex

“It’s the first day of school at Frederick Douglass Elementary and everyone’s just a little bit nervous, especially the school itself. What will the children do once they come? Will they like the school? Will they be nice to him?

The school has a rough start, but as the day goes on, he soon recovers when he sees that he’s not the only one going through first-day jitters.” (Taken from Goodreads)
