Circle Round by O'Brien, Anne Sibley

A circle of children ask others to join in their play and soon find out that inclusion is irresistible, illustrated by Caldecott Honor recipient Hanna Cha.

From the author of I'm New Here and Someone New comes an inspiring new story of inclusion. One child in a park waves over a second child. Two children then wave over a third. Counting from one to ten, a growing circle of children see new faces outside the group and invite them over. Children of different abilities, ages, genders, and races demonstrate how easy it can be to expand your group, extend yourself, and welcome new friends.
