How Do You Enter A Room?
There are so many ways to enter a room - which one suits you?
In this playful and perceptive picture book, readers explore the wonderfully diverse ways people navigate social situations. Do you burst through doors with a smile, ready to chat with everyone? Or do you slip in quietly, preferring to observe? Maybe you head straight for the snacks, or pause dramatically to make an entrance?
Through rhyming, engaging verse, How Do You Enter a Room? celebrates all the different ways kids feel in social situations - from the exuberantly outgoing to the thoughtfully reserved, and everyone in between. Each approach is presented with humour and respect, showing children that there's no one way to be social.
Perfect for:
- Starting conversations about feelings, anxiety, and self-acceptance in homes and classrooms
- Supporting neurodivergent children and those with social anxiety
- School counsellors, therapists, and educators building inclusive SEL curriculum
A warm and witty celebration that helps build emotional intelligence and social awareness, this inclusive story helps children recognise and respect the many ways people experience the world around them.

About the Author
Madeline Harris Chan (Author) Madeline Harris Chan thinks a lot. She thinks and thinks, and when the thinking threatens to overwhelm, sometimes she writes - which is often just thinking on paper. Madeline loves exploring how our unique and evolving personalities and circumstances impact the ways we navigate the world, find joy, and experience wonder. She is grateful to live with her husband and three small children in Vancouver, Canada, on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. Dawn Lo (Author) Dawn Lo is an illustrator who grew up in both Hong Kong and Canada. Her past picture book projects include- Hello Baby, It's Me, Alfie by Maggie Hutching (Tundra Books), One Tiny Bubble by Karen Krossing (Owl Kids Publishing) and Sally's Puppy Adventures by Andrew Larsen (Orca Book Publishers). Dawn may tiptoe quietly into a crowded room, but if there are snacks or crafts, she zooms from shy to sparkly in about three seconds. Dawn lives in Burnaby, Canada.
