Reach for this book when your child is grappling with a physical limitation, feeling 'different' from their peers, or needs to see that true strength comes from the heart rather than from perfect physical ability. This inspiring true story follows Norman, a Labrador retriever who loses his sight but never loses his spirit or his instinct to help those in need. Through simple prose and engaging photography, the book explores themes of resilience, bravery, and the unique bond between humans and animals. It is perfectly pitched for children ages 5 to 7, offering a concrete example of how someone can overcome a challenge to do something extraordinary. Parents will appreciate how it frames disability as a different way of experiencing the world rather than a deficit.
