This Back-to-School, Let Every Child Belong

All Friends Matter: Launching This September with a Message Every Child Deserves

Not all heroes wear capes; some wear backpacks and wag their tails. In All Friends Matter, debut author Michael Weinstein (with Diana Chavez) brings us a heartwarming story about belonging, kindness, and the unspoken courage it takes to be new.

Meet Dante, a wide-eyed pup starting his very first day of Pre-K. With a mix of excitement and nerves, he enters a classroom filled with all kinds of characters, each more unique than the last. There’s Zoe, who surfs like a pro. Eli, who dreams of the deep sea. Kenya, who climbs with bravery. Patrick, who sings with heart. And many more. Through each introduction, Dante begins to learn something powerful: being different is something to celebrate.

Guided by the gentle and wise Ms. Judy, Dante explores a classroom where every culture, talent, and personality shines. What begins as a simple school day transforms into a vibrant journey of empathy and friendship.

The story wraps with an emotional show-and-tell moment, where Dante doesn’t show a toy or tell a story; instead, he shares something even more meaningful: his heart.

Beautifully illustrated and filled with delightful dialogue, All Friends Matter is more than just a picture book. It’s a teaching tool, a conversation starter, and a loving reminder that every child deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
