Beautifully illustrated and welcoming text, 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 yarmulkes 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.

Just as a pebble is part of a mountain, just as a wave is
part of the sea, so, too, is every one of us part of something bigger. A bold,
joyful picture book with bright collage illustrations and a simple, lyrical
text, acclaimed author-illustrator Toni Yuly invites readers to celebrate our
relationship to the natural world.

With just three or four words per page, this story
follows a baby owl’s adventure one night as he leaves the safety of his nest
for the first time. Baby owls explores
the starry world around him, inspired by reverse poetry, the words reverse in
the middle when the baby owl is startled upon seeing his reflection in the
pond. Afraid of it, little owl takes off
toward home, soaring over farms and forests until he is finally safely home
again. Beautiful and simple, those who
enjoy poetry and picture books will find quiet contemplation in this obvious
choice that will appeal to any audience.
