Everyone has times when they don’t feel they belong, when they feel, and often are, outside the circle looking in. Maybe it is the way we look, or speak, or the food in our lunch bag that leaves us feeling like the outsider. Woodson warmly encourages us to dare to take the first step and share our stories! In vibrant illustrations, she lifts up her experience that when we begin to share, we will find similar things about others and some differences that bring us new worlds, too. The Day You Begin calls us to an active role in weaving the wholeness of society.
