A beautifully illustrated book about how we're all different yet all the same from beloved author-artist Gianna Marino.
One lonely day, Mule sees someone with ears like hers—could it be another mule? It’s a rabbit! But how delightful that they have the same ears! And Rabbit and Beaver have the same teeth! And Beaver and Duck have the same feet! But what happens when Bear is different from everyone else?
In this gorgeously illustrated and humorously told story, Gianna Marino celebrates our similarities and our differences while sharing a powerful message about community and friendship.
Praise for We All Belong:
* "Delightful . . . Marino’s gentle gouache illustrations feature friendly animals as they celebrate their unique attributes as well as those features they have in common . . . an enjoyable read-aloud . . . Highly recommended." —School Library Journal, starred review
"Marino’s direct, slightly silly, dialogue-driven text is packed with conversation starters, making for the perfect read-aloud, with plenty of opportunities for participation . . . Marino emphasizes the repeated words similar and different, encouraging young readers to brainstorm what they know, notice, and wonder about the animal cohort. Sure to jumpstart a constructive discussion about delighting in one another’s differences." —Kirkus Reviews
"Connection doesn’t require similarity, [and this picture book] slyly suggests this telling about finding belonging." —Publishers Weekly
