About the Book

Nona was excited! She’d been practicing, you know. Tomorrow was the annual Littlewood Talent Show! But when Nona’s turn came… Just before she went to sing… Something stopped her in her tracks…Her chest began to sting!

Nona had been feeling super-duper great about her singing all week. But then she saw all the amazing things the rest of the Hip Hop Littles were doing... She watched Wan share incredible photos…She watched Zoey model fantastic outfits. She watched Rain DJ, Alison dance, and Jordan paint graffiti. They were all so wonderful that she suddenly felt very anxious. She didn’t want to sing anymore. What on Earth was she going to do?

Review

Nona’s Nerves is part of a new children’s book series, featuring the cute pact of friends called The Hip Hop Littles. Beautifully illustrated, complemented with a wonderful supportive story, we see how this team comes together to support their friend dealing with her anxiety before a big show.

With everyone anticipating their annual talent show, Nona had practiced all week and couldn’t wait to perform. She didn’t have anything to worry about because she was very talented. After her friends showed their talent and it was her turn to perform, anxiety and nervousness overcame her leaving her uncertain of what to do. With the help and support of her friends, they gave her the self confidence boost she needed to overcome her fears.

Overall, this was a wonderful book in the series. I loved how her friends supported each other and shared their experiences. It showed her how this was part of life and normal as everyone goes through this but can be conquered. This is going to be a good series that children can feel good about and relate to the experiences on their level. I loved the positivity and value that it will bring to their lives.

This book is recommended for kids ages 3-8.
