Description

Humans look at the world with their eyes. Pepper explores it with a nose full of wonder—and today, that extraordinary nose has an important job to do.

When a mother bird’s cheerful song turns into frantic cries, Pepper discovers that her baby has fallen from the nest. Somewhere in the neighborhood, the little bird is alone, and a hungry coyote is on the prowl.

Inspired by Sherlock Holmes, Pepper puts on a detective cap, picks up a magnifying glass, and follows the clues. Two tiny feathers lead to a scent trail through garden hedges, a narrow fence gap, and a shadowy space beneath a porch. With danger close behind, Pepper must find the courage to keep going—and know when to ask for help.

Told in Pepper’s own playful voice and filled with colorful illustrations, A Nose Full of Wonder celebrates curiosity, compassion, and the special gifts that make each of us useful. It’s an adventurous read-aloud for family story time, with a cozy bedtime ending and a reassuring reminder: you don’t have to be big to make a big difference.
