Customer Reviews

A delightful book!

I love Nora's Roses- it is a delightful book for a young child or for anyone who remembers being in bed with a cold. The illustrations are particularly charming; in fact they would stand alone. I especially appreciate the multi-cultural, multi-generational characters (not to mention the animals). Nora's imagination adds more to the story as well!
