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?
This heartwarming story celebrates the excitement of milestones, the bond
between grandparents and grandchildren, and the thrill of achieving something
new.
I received a copy of Nora & The Lighthouse for an honest review. What follows is my opinion and mine alone.
Nora & The Lighthouse is a cute story about a little five year-old girl’s day and her excitement about going to a lighthouse. Nora is like any other child, filled with anticipation of growing and being able to do something only taller people did. As we follow her day, she and us are reminded to be mindful of our excitement and that we may not always get what we anticipate.
The author, Robin Murphy, perfectly encapsulates the childlike excitement that drives a little one all the while showing the little ways she is distracted and reminded that she might not get what she wants. But Nora is persistent and knows she has grown. She does not get angry or forceful in this fact. Instead, she shrugs off the doubts and continues her day.
This book is a sweet read for a little one who is excited for a new adventure. It is well written and fits with the beautiful illustrations. Like Nora, I love lighthouses. Perhaps I should take a trip to one soon.
