A circle is strongest when it's wide enough for everyone.

Winter has wrapped Honeysuckle Hollow in frost and starlight, and the Hollow Friends are discovering that a village is not made of cottages and lanes, but of the people who live there-in all their glorious variety. In this seventh collection of ten heartwarming stories, Lily, Ben, Ava, Noah, Mia, and Sam learn that difference is not a problem to be solved, but a gift to be unwrapped.

When a new girl named Anya arrives who cannot eat wheat, Lily must reinvent the bakery's signature honey cake so that everyone can share a slice. Ben befriends Elias, a boy who doesn't speak, and discovers a whole new language of drawing and presence. Ava writes a story for little Maisie, whose family now has two homes, showing her that love doesn't divide-it multiplies. Noah builds a ramp for his cousin Thomas, proving that a welcoming village removes barriers for everyone. Mia walks blindfolded to understand Elder Marigold's world, learning to see with her fingers. Together they welcome a Syrian family by exchanging words in Arabic and English, host a Festival of Lights that honours Diwali, Hanukkah, St. Lucia's Day, and Christmas, learn the Extra-Loud Game from a girl with hearing aids, and listen as Granny Willow shares a painful memory of when the Hollow was not so welcoming. Finally, the whole village stitches together the Friendship Flag-a glorious patchwork banner where every family contributes a piece of their story, flying high above the green as a promise that all are welcome.

Perfect for fans of Brambly Hedge, The Milly-Molly-Mandy Stories, and Little House on the Prairie, All Are Welcome Here is an ideal read-aloud for family story time, a comforting chapter book for early independent readers, and a timely celebration of diversity, accessibility, cultural inclusion, and the beautiful truth that our differences make us stronger.

Raise the flag. Open the door. All are welcome here.
