School is Where We All Belong is a beautifully illustrated story book that helps to develop a sense of belonging in children, particularly at school. It narrates the different ways by which five characters identify their feelings of belonging to school through the five senses (hearing, touch, smell, taste and sight).

With its engaging illustrations and narrative, children are encouraged to share their own experiences at the end of each character's story which allow them to develop a better sense of school belonging, sharing the message that belonging is largely experiential and special to each person.

School belonging is an important ingredient for many positive outcomes for student learning and wellbeing. This story provides a unique opportunity for children to practice mindfulness, to pause and fully engage with the place and moment they're in. By focusing on their senses during the fun, interactive moments, this deceptively simple book promotes a greater sense of belonging in.
