Nora’s Missing Masterpiece
When Nova realizes the artwork she created for Dad’s birthday present is missing, her tummy flip flops and her heart ker-thumps. She and her dog, Harley, turn the house upside down, searching absolutely everywhere, but the missing masterpiece is nowhere to be found. Nova loses her temper but Harley remains calm and content. Can Nova learn from her dog, calm herself down and find her Dad’s present in time for his birthday party?
‘Nova’s Missing Masterpiece is a likeable book. It’s also a good reminder of self-regulating techniques for kids to use in times of stress, such as slow belly breathing, drinking water, listening to music, stretching and relaxing (all modelled by the adorable Harley). Robin Tatlow-Lord’s illustrations are bold and detailed, with the fairy garden and cubby-house pages particularly appealing.’ — Books and Publishing
