When Naomi Feels Left Out
A Story About Finding Where You Belong

Naomi is a thoughtful child who begins to notice something new inside her heart.
When someone special enters the room, Naomi feels a quiet flutter of curiosity. But sometimes new feelings can be confusing, especially when we don’t yet understand what they mean.
Through gentle reflection and curiosity, Naomi begins to learn that emotions are part of growing and understanding ourselves.
