Welcome to Our Classroom! (an All Are Welcome Book)

A teacher welcomes a new group of students as they prepare for an exciting and collaborative year ahead in this uplifting ode to educators from the bestselling creators of All Are Welcome.

On the first day of school
Everything is new
School supplies, classmates,
and teachers, too.

Starting a new school year can be scary, but your teacher is here for you! Come along with the kids from the bestsellers All Are Welcome and Big Feelings as they learn to work together, try new things, and--with the support of their teacher--soar!

With an inspiring fold-out spread, this is the perfect gift for new students, and their teachers, with its lasting message: Someday you'll come visit and tell me what's new. I'll always be your teacher, I love teaching you!
