Meena the Cat is new to town. The park is full of animals who already know the games, already know each other, and already seem to belong. Meena is calm, kind, and thoughtful—but being new isn’t always easy. As Meena takes her time observing, she notices a small hedgehog who feels the same way she does. With patience, quiet courage, and kindness, Meena shows that you don’t have to be loud to be brave—and that there is more than one way to belong. Meena the Cat and the Place Where Everyone Belongs is a gentle picture book about inclusivity, empathy, and self-confidence. It celebrates differences, honors quiet strength, and reminds children that they never need to change who they are to matter. Perfect for readers ages 3–7, families, and classrooms, this story opens the door to meaningful conversations about kindness, understanding, and belonging—one soft page at a time.
