A React component can't return multiple React elements, but a single JSX expression can have multiple children, so if you want a component to render multiple things you can wrap it in a `div` like this.
A React component can also return an array of elements:

```js
render() {
// No need to wrap list items in an extra element!
return [
// Don't forget the keys :)
<li key="A">First item</li>,
<li key="B">Second item</li>,
<li key="C">Third item</li>,
];
}
```
