Join a young girl and a seasoned painter as they embark on a journey of discovery, finding beauty in the mundane and magic in the unseen.

From the publisher

This is a story about noticing the little things, the grand big things, the imaginary, and sometimes, hidden things. It is about embracing what’s possible. And that the incredible is everywhere, and in everything–waiting to be known, discovered, recognized. This beautiful tale by New York Times best-selling author Kobi Yamada and illustrator Elise Hurst encourages readers of all ages to slow down and look at the world with their hearts–to use their imagination to expand their vision. A companion to the beloved children’s book Trying, Noticing follows a young girl and an accomplished painter as they learn to observe the beauty and magic in each day. It’s a story that will encourage you to pay attention, to make new discoveries, and to explore the unknown. And it’s also an invitation to look within, to your own hopes and dreams, and perhaps to discover even more.
