A unique hardcover picture book for two to five year olds, this is the story of a lovely little girl who is nervous about many things. Noni finds a way to control her nerves and work through her anxiety, making life much more bearable for everyone!

Noni is nervous about playdates, and global warming, and most of all, about the first day of school. Her parents are worried too, and even her brother is a little wary. But Noni finds a friend, someone a little more outgoing than herself, and discovers that through friendship, she can belong and succeed in a world that once filled her with dread. The story is a universal one about the power of friendship and belonging, delightfully illlustrated by award-winning illustrator Genevieve Cote.

Praise for Noni Is Nervous

Praise for Noni Says No

"...Here is a fine book that explores early friendships from a new angle.... This honest glimpse at the inner workings of young elementary friendships portrays Susie and Noni as ordinary friends--Susie taking the lead in all things and Noni going along with Susie, even when she wants to do something different. Soft collage and watercolor, digitally manipulated, add the right childlike perspective.... Young readers trying to figure out the challenges of friendship and teachers trying to shore up the timid will find a new friend in Noni. Gentle, like Noni herself." - Kirkus Reviews

"... Noni's struggles are played out in the emotionally filled illustrations. Noni says No is a gem."
- Puget Sound Council for Reviewing Children's Media
