Book Review: You Belong in the Wild by Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant

You Belong in the Wild by Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A tender and empowering picture book that celebrates children’s connection to nature while emphasizing inclusivity. Told through the perspective of a young Black girl, it captures both her love for the outdoors and the challenge of not often seeing people who look like her in wildlife spaces. The expressive text and warm illustrations remind readers that the wild belongs to everyone, and that representation matters in every corner of life, even among forests, rivers, and skies.

Heartfelt, inclusive, and inspiring, this story is a gentle invitation for all children to see themselves reflected in nature’s embrace.

Thanks to Zando, Get Lifted Books, and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

4/5⭐️.
