About This Book
In Peter Maloney's 'His Mother's Nose,' young Percival faces a common childhood dilemma: everyone points out his resemblances to various family members, leaving him to ponder what truly makes him, him. This charming picture book gently explores themes of identity, self-discovery, and belonging within a loving family context. It's an excellent conversation starter for children aged 4-8 who are beginning to understand their place in the world and appreciate their unique qualities, while also recognizing their connections to loved ones.
Everyone says Percival has his mother's nose, his father's eyes, his sister'shair, and so on, so who is he really? Full-color illustrations. 10 1/2x 8 1/2.
