Written by: Irene Latham and Charles Waters.

Illustrated by: Nabila Adani.

Rhyming verse describes different ways in which readers can be a bridge, from welcoming a new student and listening respectfully when someone else is talking to standing up to a bully and comforting a classmate who is upset.

Nabila Adani’s cheerful illustrations depict a diverse group of students, including young versions of Charles and Irene.
