All Are Welcome (An All Are Welcome Book)

All Are Welcome is one of those picture books every classroom and home library should have. The story follows a group of children through a day at school where everyone is included, respected, and celebrated for who they are. The rhyming text is warm and reassuring, and the illustrations are vibrant and full of joyful detail—kids love spotting themselves in the pictures!

As a preschool teacher with more than two decades in the classroom, I’ve seen countless trends in early childhood education come and go — but high‑quality stickers, engaging books, and open‑ended art materials have never lost their magic. These simple tools continue to be some of the most powerful ways to support both fine and gross motor development, all while keeping learning joyful.

Our child reaches for this book frequently. We love the lesson here.

Very sweet book. I read it for the first day of all of my preschool music classes and the kids loved it. Great message for the beginning of school.

I loved this book! I could see almost every type of diversity represented in the illustrations! there are lots of details to notice so it’s going to be fun to read multiple times. I was so happy the words are not overly simple like some kids books. This is adaptable for a range of ages. You can read it to very little ones and as they get older you can read it together, plus you can have more critical discussions about the ideas and the scenes depicted. There was thought out into the characters and the relationships depicted. I feel like this is a book I’m proud to share. Thank you!

What a fun book to acknowledge the differences between people who still come together to have fun, learn, and discover new things! If anyone can't see the joy, light, and positivity of this book, they may need to look at their own fear and do some true, accurate, and authentic soul searching. I recommend doing some critical thinking to self-discover why you view this innocent book as problematic. Beautiful book. I hope this book will find a home in all the libraries and public schools to spread happiness and inclusion. Books open minds!

A book with people of various cultures.

I got this book because it was on a banned book list. Yes, you read that right. This book, for ridiculous reasons, is on the banned list. The reviews saying this book has an agenda are an absolute joke. Those people are essentially saying that they believe all people ARE NOT welcome here. I have news for you, gay people are not going anywhere. Gay couples having children and raising a family are not going anywhere. You sheltering your child from their existence will backfire horribly. Kids are smart & they have an endless resource called the internet to show them that people look, believe and love differently than you. Welcome to reality. Thats the "agenda" in this book. REALITY. I will continue to buy banned books for my son so he grows up knowing that all people are welcome at the table. Not just ones that look or have the same views or interests as you. The pride flag in this book represents a group of people. Just like the flags of a nation. They may not represent you. But they exist and you don't get to decide whether their existence is worthy or not. Don't buy a book titled All Are Welcome here if you don't believe that ALL ARE WELCOME HERE.
