(3) K-3 Illustrated by Suzanne Kaufman. In rhyming text, Penfold tells the story of a day--at a diversely populated urban school--that includes special events (a science fair, a cultural performance of a Chinese lion dance) and emphasizes the refrain, "All are welcome here." The mixed-media illustrations include interracial families, same-sex parents, and children with disabilities; the book includes a poster of children from many cultures reprinted on the inside of the dust jacket.
