(Target Only) Our School Is a Family

Students have a classroom community with their teacher and peers, but they also have an extended family to support them throughout their school. This community is made up of helpers such as administrators, librarians, counselors, speech pathologists, secretaries, custodians, cafeteria workers, and more. This family that extends outside the home and classroom is a whole community where students can feel safe, included, and loved. With its heartfelt message and colorfully whimsical illustrations, Our School Is a Family is a book that will help build and strengthen that school community. While reading the book, kids will feel encouraged to form positive relationships with various members of their school community. Students may also be inspired to show them extra appreciation, and to find ways that they themselves can be helpers at school too. When hearing this story being read aloud by their teacher, school librarian, or counselor, students are sure to feel like they are part of a special family. From best-selling author Shannon Olsen and illustrator Sandie Sonke, this new title in their collaboration will become a favorite in any home, classroom, or school library alongside Our Class Is a Family, A Letter From Your Teacher on the First Day of School, and A Letter from Your Teacher on the Last Day of School.
