Favourite Books Friday: Books about Belonging

This week’s Favourite Books Friday is about books that promote belonging. I hope you find it helpful! 

Books are a great way to explore feelings and emotions. They can help us understand the world around us, and we can learn from them in many ways. Books also have the power to make people feel less alone, or more understood in their world view. There are some books that show what it is like to belong, even when things don’t always go as planned – these books might be just what you need if you’re feeling homesick or lonely right now for whatever reason! They’re great at the beginning of the school year to help guide discussions about belonging in your classroom family.  

Here are my favourite books about belonging.
