Welcome!
Welcoming somebody shows that you care.
Youre happy to see them. Youre glad they are there.
From inviting a friend to play to welcoming a new baby into the world, this sweet book celebrates all the ways we can welcome those around usand shows readers that even small acts can have a big impact.
