Noticing

An inspiring journey into the art of paying attention, this story reveals the magic woven into everyday life and reminds readers of all ages that the extraordinary is always within reach.“The miraculous is everywhere and in everything. Waiting for us to notice it. Waiting for us to appreciate it. Waiting for us to love it.” —An excerpt from Noticing
This is a story about noticing the little things, the grand big things, the imaginary, and sometimes, hidden things. It’s about embracing what’s possible and discovering that the extraordinary is everywhere, in everything—waiting to be known.
Written by New York Times bestselling author Kobi Yamada and illustrated by award-winning artist Elise Hurst, Noticing follows an accomplished painter and her young protégé as they explore what it means to slow down, observe with the heart, and use imagination to expand perspective. Rich, captivating illustrations filled with hidden wonders invite readers to look closer, revealing how, when we take time to notice the magic around us each day, we begin to understand the promise and potential within us all.
