WellRead's May Kids' Selection: Nora Notices by Tegan Moss

We like to think that we are good ‘noticers’. When we look around us each day we’re always looking to see the things that other people might have missed. 

In this way, we’re a lot like Nora! She notices the things around her and the feelings she has inside. 

Nora Notices is all about Nora’s day out where she notices big things, small things, things she can hear, and things no one can see. 

We hope that as you join Nora for her extraordinarily ordinary adventure, you will be inspired to look up, look down, look around, and look under as you notice all the beauty in the world around you. 

Enjoy,

Extra things to think about and do: 

• Nora is observant – she notices the things around her and she notices beauty in the ordinary. In your home, what can you notice about the things around you? Is there anything interesting or surprising that you’ve never seen before?
  

• When you were reading this story, what did you notice about your own feelings? Did you think the things Nora noticed were funny? Sad? Beautiful? How did that make you feel? 

• When do you notice you feel the most happy? 

• This book is all about the things Nora notices … what can you notice within the story? Have a look to see if you can find:
  
  

• An owl in the hollow of a tree 

• Nora’s pet dog on every page

• Some beautifully coloured mushrooms 

• A lighthouse on the rocky cliff 

• Three little eggs in a nest
