About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is slumped on the sofa complaining that there is nothing to do and nowhere to go. It is the perfect antidote to the 'I'm bored' blues, gently nudging children to look past the surface of their everyday surroundings. The story follows young Nora, who thinks her grandma's garden is dull until she discovers dragonflies as big as birds, plants that try to eat her, and a very grumpy polar bear. This beautifully illustrated tale validates a child's skepticism while celebrating the boundless power of imagination. It captures the special bond between a patient grandparent and a curious child, making it an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students. By the final page, your child will be eager to step outside and see what hidden wonders might be lurking in their own backyard or local park.
