Every Child Belongs

It's picture day at school — and every single face in the classroom is the cutest face. While the text speaks tenderly about the things children share, Rebecca's vivid illustrations quietly celebrate what makes each one beautifully unique.

Inspired by the vibrant multicultural students of the Greater Toronto Area, this book was created as a classroom resource to mirror the broad diversity of people living and learning together. Any child — no matter their background — can pick it up and find themselves in its pages.

Perfect for kindergarten through grade 3, home bookshelves, and every school library.
