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.

Inside these pages, you will find:

Forty-two Bible stories: twenty stories from the Old Testament and twenty-two from the New Testament
Gorgeous art: Rich, vibrant illustrations illuminating every page
Inclusivity: Jesus depicted in a historically accurate way, God in an expansive way, and the people of God in an equitable, empathetic way
Wonder Moments: a recurring feature that invites kids to bring curiosity to Scripture
Mindful Moments: prompts that encourage contemplative practices like solitude, silence, and stillness.

Parents, grandparents, teachers, and ministers know that the stories we tell children are deeply formative. They stir their imaginations, shape their character, and inform their self-understanding. In this special Bible storybook, readers will see that when it comes to the love of God, everyone belongs.
