All Of Us (Kathryn Erskine and Alexandra Boiger)

This book has a beautiful feel to it. The words are simple and the message is beautiful. We make up by a unique and diverse group. Could be a great discussion starter at the start of the school year. We are going to read The Best Part of Me and use it as a mentor text. This could be a great prelude to that activity or it could even be great to read after as a reminder that we're all unique and important in our class.

Goodreads says:

A beautiful book about community and love by National Book Award winner Kathryn Erskine and #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Alexandra Boiger.

ME can be WE. YOU can come, too. In a lyrical text that travels the globe, National Book Award winner Kathryn Erskine shows young readers how the whole world is a community made up of people who are more similar than we are different. With stunning, cinematic art by Alexandra Boiger, the illustrator of the She Persisted series, this is the perfect read-aloud at bedtime or for story time. Perfect for fans of All Are Welcome and Be Kind.
