This is a book worthy of many reads. It hits every major mark when assessing what makes a picture book excellent. Mary Rand Hess has a lyrical touch and the text flows beautifully when reading quietly or aloud. The illustrations are fantastic. Nina Mata's style complements the message perfectly.

Lots of similes and metaphor about what belonging means. I think kids would really struggle to unpack the meaning. For example, "You belong...like the rain filling the birdbaths." Kids are just so literal. It would be really tricky to figure out filling the birdbath is like belonging.

This book feels like a warm embrace to me. It’s simple, but beautiful, encouraging, and profound all at the same time. I love the illustrations too and can’t wait to share this with my baby boy!

A mushy feel-good story to illustrate the concept of belonging to children. Not recommended for storytime.
