Welcome, come in! You are invited to travel to homes around the world in this beautifully illustrated picture book about hospitality and acceptance, which features the word "welcome" from more than fourteen languages. Fans of Here We Are and The Wonderful Things You Will Be will enjoy this timeless story about family, friendship, empathy, and welcoming others.

Welcome, friend. Welcome.

There are almost as many ways of making someone feel welcome as there are people on our planet. To welcome another is to give that person and yourself a chance at a new connection, a new friendship, and maybe even new eyes through which to view the world.

Journey around the globe as A Hundred Thousand Welcomes introduces the word for “welcome” in fourteen languages to illuminate a universal message of hope and acceptance. Mary Lee Donovan’s spare text is brought to life by Lian Cho’s boisterous, richly detailed illustrations.

Includes a pronunciation guide, a note from the artist, a note from the author, and information about the languages featured in the book.

Who is Playdreamers?

Playdreamers is a micro family business owned and operated by myself - mum of three boys, Hannah.

We launched from home as an online store in April 2019. I'd pack orders of an evening with two toddlers by my side, spending late nights adding products to the store and sourcing new items.

During the pandemic I nervously opened our first brick & mortar store in Forster, NSW and in 2022 welcomed a third son.

Fast forward to mid-2024 when a larger space in a sought-after location was calling my name. We relocated our tiny Forster store from a quiet street to the hustle and bustle of Wallis Street in Forster; just off the bridge into town.

I am excited to have welcomed Chloe, a mother of two girls and dear friend, to the team and adore our days together bouncing ideas off each other and sourcing treasures for the children in your lives.

I am so grateful you found us. Your support is incredible - we wouldn't be here without our wonderful customers. Thank you for being here.

Please join us on social media by searching @playdreamers to keep up to date with all the fun. And always feel welcome to reach out - we love getting to know you!
