Se Pou Mwen Ou Ye – You Belong To Me
“Se Pou Mwen Ou Ye” is a wonderful story. After taking the “Learn Haitian Creole with Gloria” course I’m able to read the story with a good understanding and then fill in the little gaps by using the English translation that accompanies each paragraph. I would highly recommend this book for Kreyol learners, parents adopting from Haiti, children, teachers looking to expand their classroom libraries, and etc.
It is a story that shows the magic of its culture along with the love and teachings of a mother to her daughter. It is short and with its illustrations it makes us travel and delve deeper into that beautiful message. recommended.
I like the way that the author emphasizes the important of spend time with the family, specially with the mothers
I loved the story, because it is a narrative that in addition to telling about the life of a girl, shows the beautiful relationship she has with her mother, and shows a lot of Haitian culture, and these things have a lot of value to me. So I liked it and recommend the book.
On my point of view, the mother not really explain to her daughter why she could not hang out with her brother because there still exists a bit of social prejudice, but in order for her daughter not to feel sad. The mother explained that they would have more time together and that was also part of truth.
I loved the mother and daughter bondage and teachings as they were walking. The daughter got to learn the importance of the skill of cooking.
I really liked the story because it shows strong bond between a mother and her daughter , they support each other through life various challenges and the mother keeps teaching her daughter a lot of stuff which can help her in her daily life .
After reading this story, I realized that love doesn’t always come from direct words but instead from actions filled with deep meaning.
I am a little girl from Vietnam, a small country brimming with affection. To me, the bond between a mother and child is a sacred and incomparable love. There’s a Vietnamese proverb that says, “Công cha như núi Thái Sơn / Nghĩa mẹ như nước trong nguồn chảy ra” which means “A father’s effort is as immense as Mount Tai, a mother’s love is as boundless as water flowing from its source.” After reading the short story You Belong To Me by the dedicated teacher Gloria Guignard Board, I have come to deeply appreciate the value of maternal love and family bonds.
I used to think that due to the “son preference” mindset, daughters were expected to do housework while sons were free to play. However, after reading this story, I learned something new—that it’s not as bad as I thought. On the contrary, it holds a profound meaning—maternal love.
The short story You Belong To Me is undoubtedly meaningful and beneficial for children learning how to love. I hope more people will come to know about this story or bring it into the study lesson, which is helpf and meaningful for kids.
I loved how the mother and daughter interacted and bonded as they expressed their feelings in not only words but also their actions. It shows the perspective of the culture in Haiti which can also be seen in different countries.

This story was so amazing along with the details and colorful pictures added to it. This story just shows that the mother wants to teach her daughter how to do things at a young age while also bonding with her during the moments. I also like that it shows us all about the Haitian culture and what people do in Haiti.
“You belong to me” is a very written story, incredibly drawn and with many feelings and emotions between mother and daughter. I also liked seeing how the author describes Haiti and its culture.
I love how the book blends a mother’s unconditional love with glimpses of Haitis culture. The book makes amazing use of imagery and symbolism to capture the reader
