Description
A heartwarming story about the power of thinking differently from the creators of The Littlest Yak.
Nora is not like the other beavers. She thinks new thoughts. She asks lots of questions. She invents inventions and gives things a try. Shes different and as her grandad tells her thats okay!
So, when the rain pours and the river rises at the beaver lodge, its Noras know-how that could save the day if only she could get all the other beavers to believe her!
This dramatic and satisfying story has all the warmth and heart that we have come to expect from this author and illustrator duo as Nora comes to see that her thinkings are different but good!
