BELONG

In this empowering and lyrical story from New York Times bestselling creators Mary Rand Hess and Niña Mata, a new kid in town finds the courage to embrace a new path, one that leads to a celebration of friendship and belonging. 

You belong
like the sun
warming the earth.
 
Like the rain
filling the birdbaths,
the creek beds,
the flower pots.
 
Like the moon lighting
the night path.
 
You are important.
 

BELONG celebrates friendship, expression, and inclusion, and reassures children that in good times and bad they always matter—they always belong.
