Paperback

Grades Preschool – 1
Ages 4–6

A back-to-school celebration featuring the beloved characters from the New York Times-bestselling All Are Welcome! This Step 2 early reader is perfect for emerging readers who are excited to learn more at school.

The sun is up.                                                              
The day has begun.
It’s back to school
For everyone!

The kids from All Are Welcome are heading back to school and eager to see old friends, make new friends, and learn to be readers, writers, listeners, and leaders. Three things they keep in mind: Always try. Have fun. Be kind.

Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories. They are ideal for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Perfect for children who are ready to read on their own!

"All are welcome in this classroom, and the visual component is a testament to that fact. Approachable and inclusive, this early reader provides just enough of a challenge for young children who are preparing to enter a positive new school year." —School Library Journal
