The adventuresome Nora and her friends—Kiki the dog, her doll Maggie, and Teddy the stuffed bear—set off on a new adventure in this second Nora book by Satomi Ichikawa. This time the brave trio journey to Nora's grandmother's house, a wonderful house that seems to touch the sky.

But even Nora is surprised at night as the toys in the chest at the foot of her bed jump out, ready to play. Nora joins them, and when she asks for the very stars in the sky, the toys happily fly up to get them for her, turning her into Princess Nora, star princess. But, she quickly wonders, should she keep the precious stars, dimming the nighttime sky forever?

In gentle pastel watercolors that evoke the lush and scented Mediterranean countryside, illustrator and author of Nora's Castle Satomi Ichikawa once again brings the imaginative and spirited Nora to life to explore yet another dreamy faraway world.
