Welcome: A Book about Friendship

From bestselling artist Axel Scheffler, a joyful new picture book that celebrates togetherness, empathy, and friendship, published in support of refugee charity Three Peas.

“Inside this book, we make everyone welcome. Whether you’re big or small, jumpy of flappy, stompy and noisy, or a little bit shy and quiet… you’re ALL welcome. No one’s left out because it takes all sorts to make a happy world, and our best friend might turn out to be someone who’s quite different from us.”

From the co-creators of Kind comes a warm-hearted welcome of a book, expressing the importance of inclusive action, such as sharing, kindness, and extending a hand of friendship to others, no matter who they are or where they’re from. Featuring a cast of Axel Scheffler’s cheerful, funny animal characters, Welcome celebrates empathy and togetherness, and is published in support of refugee charity Three Peas.
