Reviews:
“Offering warm, embracing assurance that the reader will feel comfortable and safe in a new classroom, it’s a welcoming title for first days and any day.”
—Publishers Weekly
"Sanders employs lively, rhyming verse, each stanza loaded with uplifting, kid-engaging descriptions. Reflecting the best of the world we inhabit, this class is widely diverse . . . Readers are welcomed and will surely see themselves within these pages, and that’s a beautiful thing. An enthusiastically inclusive treatise for kids wondering—or worrying—about what to expect from school."
—Kirkus

About
A celebratory declaration of what it means to be part of a diverse class of students.
We're movers and shakers. Mammoth change makers. Friends. Learners. Achievement earners.
An icebreaker and friend-maker, We Are a Class is an inclusive, aspirational story to be read aloud responsively, collectively, or as spoken-word performance. Written in rhythmic (and sometimes rhyming) verse, We Are a Class is a pledge, a commitment, a promise among the members of a single class and every class.
Perfect for the first day, the 100th day, the final day, and any day of school.
