We Belong
We all belong!
You and I, we’re alike, / but we’re different too. / That’s not good. / That’s not bad. / It’s just what is true.
Explore and celebrate who you are and who others are too! Rhyming verse by Laura Purdie Salas invites others to notice the diversity of our world and affirm that we all belong, just as we are. Bright illustrations by Carlos Vélez Aquilera feature a diverse group of children, playing and learning in an urban setting.
