Synopsis

Every child deserves a place to play, connect, and feel included.

Tank the T-Rex wants to play, but not everyone plays the same way. From loud sounds and bright lights at the ice cream shop to playground swings that aren't quite built for everyone, Tank and his friends navigate the small hurdles that can make a big world feel overwhelming.

Together, this lovable group of animals and dinosaurs discovers that inclusion isn't about asking someone to change—it’s about changing how we play so everyone can join the fun!

  • A Must-Have for Every Library: Ideal for preschool and elementary classrooms, special education (SPED) settings, speech-language therapy, and home bookshelves.

Praise for You Belong Here:

“I cried after reading this book. It is so precious, important and lighthearted… My girls get to see every day, through their brother, why inclusion matters. They know that sometimes including someone means doing things a little differently—and that different doesn’t mean less. Not every child has the opportunity to grow up alongside someone with a disability, which is why books like You Belong Here are so important. They teach kids that everyone can be a part of the fun—we just have to make sure there’s a way for everyone to join in.”
