A lively neighborhood school (inspired by the one attended by illustrator’s daughter) welcomes its diverse students at the start of a school year, proclaiming that all are welcome! Joy-filled, colorful, engaging paintings combine with brief, rhyming text to celebrate children and families coming together to learn and share.

Start the guide for humans then flip the book over for a guide for dogs: how to greet and behave with each other. Illustration and text combine for a simple but effective guide.
