“My house is your house…”
“We are all connected across time and space.”

This lovely picture book depicts the word “welcome” across a dozen languages and cultures, portraying diverse families who invite family/friends/strangers to come in and share a meal. We are reminded that hospitality is offered and celebrated across all cultures.

The vignettes and lively watercolors primed me to welcome my family and embrace traditions over the coming weeks. Kids and elders will all enjoy this book, which reminds us that kindness and generosity translate to joy. Includes a pronunciation guide and information about the featured languages, which include Lakota Sioux, Gaelic, Hindi, Indonesian and Urdu.
