“A Hundred Thousand Welcomes” by Mary Lee Donovan

There are almost as many ways of making someone feel welcome as there are people on our planet. To welcome another is to give that person and yourself a chance at a new connection, a new friendship, and maybe even new eyes through which to view the world.

Journey around the globe as A Hundred Thousand Welcomes introduces the word for “welcome” in fourteen languages to illuminate a universal message of hope and acceptance. Mary Lee Donovan’s spare text is brought to life by Lian Cho’s boisterous, richly detailed illustrations. The author and illustrator both share how different cultures welcome each other in words and actions.

A Hundred Thousand Welcomes includes a pronunciation guide, a note from the artist, a note from the author, and information about the languages featured in the book.

I highly recommend reading this sweet book with the children in your care.
