Noah and Blue: The Search for the Missing Manners: A fun way to teach children about manners and celebrate diversity - Paperback

This story is a fun way to teach children about manners and celebrate diversity. Like so many other parents, we want to raise healthy, compassionate, emotionally, and intellectually well rounded little humans.

Please and Thank you are the magic words. As the 2nd book of the series, we develop the relationship between the main character (Noah) and his stuffed dinosaur and best friend (Blue). Noah and Blue are on a search for their bag of manners and find themselves in a far-off land where manners actually do grow on trees.

Noah and Blue: Big Lessons for Little Heart book series was born out of the desire to create fun stories with digestible moral lessons for young children. Noah and Blue: the Search for the Missing Manners is book two from this series.
