We All Belong

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
