With more than 400 entries, I pulled 5 random entries to win a copy. Congratulations to the following five winners

One of the picture books that has been traveling the most with me this summer is All Are Welcome written by Alexandra Penfold and illustrated by Suzanne Kaufman. Within its pages is a simple, yet powerful story, of a community where every child is welcomed no matter their heritage, religion, or life story. What an important message to read aloud to all of your students as you set the tone for the year ahead.
Well, did you know that there is a kit that comes along with the book? It can be requested right here to help you use the book. But in even better news; I get to give five copies away! The giveaway ends Sunday evening, is only for US addresses (sorry!), and I will pull five winners at random. All you have to do is enter on this form to be in the running for this book.
