We belong here

Wishinsky, Frieda,


"We Belong Here tells a touching story of friendship between a Japanese boy and Jewish girl that takes place in Canada, soon after the end of World War II. While the setting is historical, the themes are perennial and, sadly, feel more timely than ever. This story takes place in the 1950s, a few years after the end of World War II. As we know, that war was fought on two fronts. One front was against the Nazis in Europe. The other against Japan after the Japanese government bombed Pearl Harbour in Hawaii in 1941. We Belong Here tells a story of allyship, ingenuity and loyalty in friendship. It brings through the best of community, and allows the children to take actions that make a difference."--

Wolves and grizzly bears thrived at the top of the diverse food chain in this vast, unobstructed landscape. It truly was, as the region is often called, the Serengeti of North America. Though much has been lost, there is still enough wildness that exists in these flatlands to inspire some optimism. And there are people across the Canadian prairies working to help keep them wild.
