The Book of Belonging

By: Mariko Clark, illustrated by Rachel Eleanor A beautifully illustrated Bible storybook to help the next generation of kids understand the rich diversity of God’s people, emphasizing identity, contemplation, and wonder. Mom, does God love boys more than girls? This question from Mariko Clark's daughter sparked a conversation on the lack of diversity within Bible retellings for kids, and began an author's journey to create a Bible storybook that represented all children in the world. The Book of Belonging is a unique Bible storybook that includes many often-overlooked biblical stories with added intentionality regarding skin tone, female representation, and contemplative practices. As children learn who God is and who God says they are, they will be reminded over and over that God calls us Beloved, Belonging, and Delightful.
