Everybody says Nora is a ladybug. Almost!
Down in the garden at the edge of Sandalwood Village lives a small red bug with six and a half spots, one bent antenna, and a landing that sounds like applause. The other bugs keep calling her a ladybug - but Nora knows better. She's Nora the Nora Bug, a bug of her own.
When the tidy ladybugs try to make Nora quieter, neater, and more like everyone expects, the whole garden loses a little of its sparkle. But when a tiny friend tumbles into trouble, it's Nora's loud laugh, muddy wings, wild zoom, and applause landing that save the day - and remind everyone that the things that make us different are often the things the world needs most.
A warm, funny Mudpies Universe picture book about confidence, kindness, belonging, and the simple joy of being exactly yourself. Perfect for ages 3-7, for the kids who don't quite fit the mold - and the grown-ups who love them just the way they are.
Every Mudpies story is built on one promise: help, not hurt.
