What's Inside
School is really fun when we all get along!
Use this short book with preschoolers through second graders when you want to talk about being kind, sharing space, and working well with others at school. Children can think about the social skills that help a classroom feel calm and friendly.
The book supports early conversations about getting along at school and practicing good choices with classmates. It fits well for a quick read-aloud, a class meeting, or a family talk before the school day.
