Nora Naraoia is a soft bodied arthropod from the early Cambrian period. She longs to be like the spectacular Trilobites that developed during the Cambrian Explosion. In an alphabetical parade, she watches the different species and longs to have more unique features or talents. Her friends help her to understand that what makes her special comes from the inside and that everyone can join in the parade and be proud of who they are. Readers can see images of real fossils of some of the characters and can find scientific descriptions and a diagram of the time periods represented.
Includes real prehistoric science!
- Features actual Cambrian creatures
- Includes fossil images and simple explanations
- Sparks curiosity about early life on Earth
PaleoKids books are one of the only children's illustrative narrative series that features prehistoric creatures that are not dinosaurs. Be prepared to meet strange new species that will engage curiosity in the world beyond the well-known T-Rex and Triceratops. Each of these books is STEM-grounded and SEL-embedded. The stories are engaging and earn their emotional core through science.
Perfect for:
- Science-Curious Families -Parents of children who have exhausted the dinosaur section and are ready for something that genuinely surprises them.
- K-3 Teachers and Literacy Coaches-These books map to Common Core ELA standards without adaptation: alliteration, rhyme, compare and contrast, vocabulary acquisition, and nonfiction text features including a glossary and back matter. It also carries an SEL message useful in counsellor-recommended reading and classroom belonging discussions.
- School and Public Librarians- These books can be shelved under both STEM and SEL.
- Natural History Museum Visitors-These books are already in some museum stores, including the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Canada, Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pennsylvania, Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Georgia, and other locations internationally. These books are a wonderful way to continue a child's experience with the Paleozoic world after they leave these museums.
- Parents of Children Navigating Belonging-Caregivers of children who feel different without a label for it: introverted children, new school children, neurodivergent children, or children who simply cannot articulate why they feel like they are watching the parade from the outside. These stories speak through the experiences of the creatures without lecturing or singling out the reader.
