Finding a place in nature

Noa’s love of wildlife runs up against a question of belonging: the people she has seen working in nature do not look like her. A trip from the city to a state park, guided by her mother and a new park ranger friend, brings that question into focus. Framed as a picture-book story about a young science enthusiast, the book connects outdoor discovery with representation and the reassurance that nature is for everyone. Noa’s interests—wildlife facts, nature shows, and imaginative play with stuffed animals—give the story a child-centered starting point for exploring who gets to see themselves in outdoor spaces.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy nature and wildlife
  • Young readers interested in science and the outdoors
  • Families seeking a picture book about belonging and representation

Book overview

You're ready for the wild.

In this heartfelt, stunning picture book, a young child with a love for science discovers that while they don't see other people like them working in nature, they do belong there.

Despite loving all things nature, Noa struggles to find her place in the wild. She loves watching nature shows, playing pretend with her stuffed animals, and recounting wildlife facts to her mom. But from what she's seen, the people who work in nature don't look like her. So, Noa must not belong there.

To convince her otherwise, Noa's mom takes her on a journey from the city to a state park, where Noa meets a new park ranger friend who shows her that nature is full of diversity, and she belongs just like anyone else.
