Celebrando todas las familias (Celebrating All Families)
From the Series Celebrando nuestras comunidades (Celebrating Our Communities)
Our communities are stronger when we come together and take time to understand, support, and celebrate one another. In Celebrating All Families, readers will learn the importance of acceptance and empathy as they relate to different family and household structures and how to practice these in their daily lives. Social and emotional learning (SEL) concepts support growth mindset throughout, while “Grow with Goals” activities and “Mindfulness Exercises” at the end of the book further reinforce the content. Vibrant, full-color photos and carefully leveled text engage young readers as they learn more about empathy and inclusion. Also includes sidebars, a table of contents, glossary, index, and tips for educators and caregivers.
Celebrating All Families is part of Jump!’s Celebrating Our Communities series.
