This is a wonderful book about being in a community. I love that it prompts the reader to engage with the book by asking questions and have the students really look at the page to see what all the kids are doing.

This book is a great introduction to kids of what a community is like neighborhoods (parks, schools, apartments, etc), donating, businesses, places to meet up at, gas stations, community cleanups, murals, retirement homes, libraries, community gardens, sport games, community workers, shared hobbies, etc and has activities for children to do as well as a glossary to help teach children further of what community means. I think this is a great book to help teach young readers of what’s important.

This book went right onto the community kids shelf at my work as soon as we had finished it. This book is inviting, inclusive and is one of only a few books for this age group that I’ve come across that describes how shopping locally impacts the community. Loved the ideas covered and the depictions of who is included in a whole community.
