About this book
Kai likes knowing where things belong. But with her older sister away at college and Grandma Kay suddenly moving in after a burst pipe, her familiar routines—and her treasured art corner—are changing.
School is no easier. Her friendship with Laila feels different, and Kai is eager to help her new classmate, Mateo. When their class begins the Community Table project, she sees the perfect chance to organize something beautiful. Then she discovers that a good plan can leave someone else’s wishes unheard.
Room for Everybody follows Kai through family adjustments, awkward friendships, and the difference between offering help and taking over. Humor, lively conversations, and ordinary objects with unexpected meaning bring questions about privacy, fairness, and belonging into everyday life.
Read it independently or together to talk about asking before helping, saying what you need, and making space for another person’s story. This first book introduces the family and school community at the heart of The Room for Everybody Series.
