About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling insecure about their place in the world or wondering if they are remembered when they aren't in the room. Whether it's a first day of school, a weekend apart, or just a bout of low self-esteem, this story provides the ultimate reassurance: you are important enough for the whole universe to notice your absence. The story follows Charlie as he regales his friend Nora with tall tales of his day. From a local baseball game to the far reaches of Jupiter, Charlie claims that everyone he encountered had one burning question: Where is Nora? It is a whimsical, imaginative tribute to friendship and the idea that we carry a piece of our loved ones with us wherever we go. It is a perfect choice for children aged 4 to 8 who appreciate absurdist humor and need a gentle reminder of their own significance.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and metaphorical, using hyperbole to address the very real childhood fear of being forgotten or unimportant. The resolution is joyful and affirming.
Ideal Reader
A child who is prone to 'shining' in the shadows of more dominant personalities, or a student experiencing separation anxiety who needs to visualize the fact that their presence is missed by others when they are away.
