All of Us

While we may look different or come from different places, we are all part of a community, and we all have things in common! All of Us is a distinctive and vibrant picture book, perfect for kids learning about diversity, open-mindedness, self-acceptance, and respect for others.

Journey through a diverse and beautiful world, meeting people of all ages and races in all sorts of spaces. From museums and classrooms to the circus and beyond, All of Us is designed with quirky collage-style illustrations that highlight shared spaces in our communities. In these spaces, young readers will encounter all kinds of characters, and through these characters they will learn that we all have things in common. We have shared emotions, like love, hope, fear, and joy. We share experiences, like eating meals, playing music together, or caring for pets.

Each upbeat and colorful page is packed with reminders that even when we seem different—and even when we’re sometimes far apart—we are all part of a community, and we all benefit when we look at the world around us with open minds and hearts.
