Review A narrator whispers sweet assurances of belonging in the ear of a beloved, invoking animals analogous habitats and hollows to bring the comforting ascriptions powerfully home. Watercolor illustrations utilize every gradation of gray to achieve astonishing, soft specificity and alternatively show human houses and animal homes in the natural world. Mellow reds, greens, and yellows crop up here and there, serving as keen testaments to the power of placement in the scenes they depict. Lovingly constructed, reliable rhymes, with pleasing pendular swings, might cause listeners to hug themselves tightly and smile. And the trees belong in the wild wood and the deer belong in their shade, and the birds belong so safe and good and warm in the nests they've made. Animals enjoy habitations all their own, sublime places described with crystalline clarity: streams skirted with cattails, red and gold desert rocks, canyons blanketed with sage, dune grasses, and a stone wall surrounded by clover. Cursive script (intrinsically personal and unique) accompanies lines directed at a listening human audience and images of human houses. One could easily improvise a quick melody and sing these words as a lullaby. This lyrical picture book will draw readers under its soft wing, lulling children with its velveteen artwork and assured affirmations of each creature's special nook in such a spectacularly varied world. (Picture book. 2-6) --Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)The stars belong in the deep night sky and the moon belongs there too, and the winds belong in each place they blow by and I belong here with you. The repeating rhythms of Clark's (The Man Made of Stars) bedtime verses calm and reassure. The verses describe the natural world (The whales and the fishes belong in the sea and the waves belong by the shore), while the chorus addresses children directly: You're the one I love the most. Arsenault's (Alpha) animal subjects appear as blank white images, softly shaded and hemmed in by ghostly gray wash. Gentle tints of blue, green, and vermilion hint at liveliness, but it's twilight now, time for things to return to the places they belong: I will always belong right here with you, and you'll always belong with me. Acknowledging that many children who read about the joys of nature live far from it, the final spread shows an elegant cityscape, in which a single brick building is picked out in red, and a single flower is seen in the window. Ages 4 up. --Publishers Weekly Read more About the Author M.H. Clark is the Chief Storyteller for Compendium, Inc., one of the foremost creators of inspiring books, cards, and gifts.

You Belong Here by Isabelle Arsenault is *warning: I'm sort of sappy. But if you want the short version: Just buy it. It's sweet.*So, I'm 22 years old. I don't have any kids. But I saw this book in a small shop in El Dorado Hills last Summer and I was completely taken by this book. I wanted to buy it right then and there, but my family started to leave the store and I felt a little rushed, so I took a photo of the cover and put the book back on the shelf.Now, finally reaching the new year, I have a job again (because earlier I was focusing more on college). And I decided to finally buy the book... It arrived today. And I don't know why, but it makes me so darn happy that I have this. It's such a sweet book. Back in 2014, I had really bad depression and anxiety, I always felt like I didn't belong where I was. And I don't mean to get sappy, but this book touched me right away in that store. Even if it's "just a book," it was a very simple and sweet reminder that I belong where I am.If I ever have kids, I'll read it to them. When I become a teacher, I'll read it to them.(sorry if this review is a TMI, but if the people who worked on this book read this I just wanted to let them know that their creation is really amazing)
You Belong Here by Isabelle Arsenault is A sweet book - with gorgeous pictures!! All my kids (1, 2 & 4) want me to read this book to them over and over again every night. I heartily recommend this book! Please mark if you find my review helpful. Thank you so much!
You Belong Here by Isabelle Arsenault is Warning: personal perspective offered here, you may disagree. I really like most of this book, but I really dislike something about it that I've seen in other kids' books enough to merit the 2 star rating. This is one of those books that seem to be written to resonate with parents' emotions and not childrens'. If you like "Love You Forever" then this will probably not bother you, and you will enjoy the beautiful art and sweet prose. But if you're like me, and prefer to avoid text that appeals to parents but can provoke guilt in a child, then avoid this book. Here is a typical example: "And you belong where you love to be, and after each day is through, you will always belong right next to me and I'll belong next to you." Really? While I can see why this is an appealing image for a parent who wants nothing more than to stop time and snuggle with their child, I prefer books that offer love and sweetness and instill confidence from a child's perspective; a child's job, after all, is to differentiate themselves as individuals in all kinds of ways. And yes, they need to feel loved and confident that their parents will be there for them, but when this love is portrayed in the context of how much a parent needs from the child (like belonging by their side), I feel it sends a complicated message. Anyway, that's my perspective.
You Belong Here by Isabelle Arsenault is Beautifully written and I love the illustrations (which is originally why I purchased this book for my 2 year old). After a hard week being his mom, when I got this in the mail I read it to my son and cried. It's my new favorite of his books.
