You Belong in the Wild

You’re ready for the wild.

In this heartfelt, stunning picture book, a young child with a love for science discovers that while they don’t see other people like them working in nature, they do belong there.

Despite loving all things nature, Noa struggles to find her place in the wild. She loves watching nature shows, playing pretend with her stuffed animals, and recounting wildlife facts to her mom. But from what she’s seen, the people who work in nature don’t look like her. So, Noa must not belong there.

To convince her otherwise, Noa’s mom takes her on a journey from the city to a state park, where Noa meets a new park ranger friend who shows her that nature is full of diversity, and she belongs just like anyone else.
