A joyful rhyming book that encourages children to not only value all people but to also make room for their differences in order to make a better, brighter, and more beautiful world, from the New York Times bestselling author of Different—A Great Thing to Be!

“We know everyone's different; no two are the same. You belong in our show!” the sisters exclaimed.
 
Macy and Tru are putting on a spectacular talent show to highlight the ways they love to perform. Other kids arrive, eager to participate but unsure if they’ll be welcomed. Since the two sisters know that everything is a lot more fun when everybody’s included, they’re determined to find a role in the show for each person. 
 
Inspiring, encouraging, and packed with joy, Everyone Belongs reminds us that it’s possible to make room for all people and all abilities—and that life is brighter when we give every person a chance to shine.

Have I got a story to share with you,
one about sisters named Macy and Tru.
It’s a tale of two girls and one fabulous show,
and you are invited. So come on, let’s go!

Macy’s the older sister of the two.
She leads by example, as the eldest will do.
She shows up bravely, exactly as she is,
an inspiration to all, a magnificent kid!

Though Tru is taller, she’s the younger one.
She’s bold and confident, getting stuff done.
Tru loves meeting new people, making a pal.
She’s the world-changing type, a powerful gal.

Macy and Tru are unalike, as you see,
but they know that Different is a great thing to be!
The sisters both wanted to glitter and glow
and together declared, “We will shine in a show!”
