Reviews

A celebration as much as it is a story! * Bookbairn *
The books message makes it applicable to any child and the icing on the cake is the colourful illustration filled with speech bubbles that display Welcome in many languages. Parents will love the educational element and the caring message, and Im sure children will love trying to read new languages and repeat the phrase; ALL ARE WELCOME * Armadillo Magazine *
