A must read book for anyone in the education system. Written in an easy style that reads like a conversation with a friend who gives great advice. The author uses relatable anecdotal stories to illustrate and support valuable perspectives that many of us may overlook.

This book is very inspiring! Building Community has helped me view the idea of inclusive communities in a whole new light. It makes me want to reach out to my neighbours and community members and make a connection!

Jam packed with lots of real-life examples, the author uses an easy-going style that paints a beautiful road map for building communities inclusive of all people. Memorable lines throughout and a helpful and practical “top ten” to close out the book.
