Big and Strong ... I Belong! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781632330109)

Sometimes kids are bigger (or thinner or shorter or taller)

than other kids at school.

But don't they still all belong?

Here's a story about a big girl whose hurt feelings started a conversation...

about being different.

What people are saying about it:

"I am a child psychologist working with some of the most vulnerable children in our community in the Greater Boston Area, children from ages 4-12 who have been hospitalized due to unsafe behavior. I run groups for children where we discuss emotion identification and modulation, healthy social skills and mindfulness activities. I recently was introduced to Bonnie Morris' excellent book Big and Strong I Belong!, and have found that the kids really resonate with the feelings and situations depicted in the book. It's a wonderfully direct story about a difficult to open up subject, beautifully illustrated and wonderfully written with simple, rhyming language. I have used it very effectively to open up discussions about bullying and kindness amongst the children on my inpatient unit. Three cheers!"
