Mina Belongs Here
by Sandra Niebuhr-Siebert
Age Range: 6-8
Mina is worried about starting kindergarten in her new country. When she first arrives, Mina hears “children laughing and playing behind the door. She stood on her tiptoes and peeked through the keyhole.” As she goes into the classroom, she sees friendly faces and hears noisy chatter, but the only word she understands is her name. Everything feels strange and unfamiliar but gradually by listening to her new friends, stories and songs in this unfamiliar language, she tries out the new sounds which roar in her throat and tickle her tongue. She begins to use them more and more until one day, Mina realised that all these new words feel like her own.
An uplifting story by German author Sandra Niebuhr-Siebert, translated by Polly Lawson, explores how sharing a language can encourage a sense of belonging. The crisp expressive artwork by Lars Baus gives visual emphasis to Mina’s experience of settling in a new country and learning the language. An ideal book for parents, carers and teachers to help bring a migrant experience to life for young children.
