Nora & the Lighthouse
by Robin Murphy
Illustrated by April Burril
Genre: Children’s Picture Book
Five-year-old Nora is thrilled for a sleepover at her Nana and Grandpa’s condo—but what she really dreams of is climbing to the top of the Concord Point Lighthouse. There’s just one problem: she needs to be 42 inches tall. Determined and hopeful, Nora spends the day imagining she’s grown just enough. After a fun-filled evening and a good night’s sleep, she finally visits the lighthouse. Is Nora tall enough? Will the view from the top be everything she dreamed it would be?
