Now with Big Feelings, they help children navigate the emotional challenges they face in their daily lives. In their bestselling picture book All Are Welcome, Alexandra Penfold and Suzanne Kaufman celebrate kindness, inclusivity, and diversity.
It's almost impossible to resist the warm welcome offered on these pages and be reminded how easy it is to make someone feel as though they matter and are a part of a community.The newest picture book from the creators of All Are Welcome to help children navigate BIG FEELINGS! Created with acrylic paint, ink, crayon, and collage through Adobe Photoshop, the illustrations are colorful, filled with smiling, diverse faces, and cityscapes, and readers familiar with the previous two books may recognize some of the characters. The inside of the book jacket serves as a poster and visual reminder of the welcoming neighbors and community to which these newbies now belong.
The use of repetitive lines and rhymes make this picture book easy to share while insuring that its message reaches its readers and listeners. This scene is appropriately depicted on a colorful gatefold. At the end of this impromptu tour of the area the adults join in with what looks to be the makings for a potluck supper, complete with delicious foods and music.
As they pass by various locations, including a library, a school, a coffeehouse, and outdoor recreation areas, the new arrivals are greeted with friendly faces and smiles and encouraged to make themselves at home. When a new family moves into the neighborhood, it is the youngsters who first greet them and take the mother and two children all around the area so that they can get the lay of the land. Just as this creative team did in their earlier All Are Welcome and Big Feelings, they have created a warm story that reminds readers just how wonderful it can feel to be welcomed, included, and accepted.
