A rhyming, heartfelt celebration of school communities and the vital role they play in young children’s lives.

This formative board book is an appreciation of school communities and the many ways in which they help develop empathy, compassion, and collective responsibility. Through a handful of specific yet universal school scenarios, young readers will understand what it means to be a part of a school community and celebrate how to share with and care for one another.
 
"A portrait of a welcoming community that demonstrates the values of care and inclusion." --Kirkus

"A charming introduction to the big idea of school, and an angle that will resonate: it’s not the building but the people that make up a school." --School Library Journal
