A joyful picture book from a New York Times bestselling duo that celebrates inclusion and reassures children that in good times and bad they always matter--they always belong.
You matter . . .
in the way you help.
The way you hug.
The way you laugh.
The way you love.
The way you shout.
The way you speak.
The way you give.
The way you . . . express yourself!
In this warm, uplifting story, a new kid in town finds the courage to carve their own path, one that leads to a celebration of friendship and being yourself.
