Nora and Her Magical Binoculars

Publishing Spring 2026 | Board book with lift flaps | 10 pages

Nora is going for a morning walk, but with her magical binoculars, her daily route transforms into an exciting safari adventure!

Nora loves going on walks with her mom, especially when her normal neighborhood transforms into a beautiful savanna! With her magical binoculars in hand, Nora can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Passing cars become stampeding elephants, a peaceful pond turns into crocodile-infested waters, and even a flowering bush can transform into a lounging lion!

Nora and Her Magical Binoculars teaches children to make everyday activities exciting through the power of imagination. It also encourages parents to see the world through their children’s eyes and immerse themselves in their playful perspective. Sometimes, adventure can be found in our own neighborhood, and something as simple as binoculars can transform the world around us into a world of possibility.

About the Author

Stephanie Pressler is a Louisiana native with a bachelor’s degree in social work from Southeastern Louisiana University and a master’s in teaching from Armstrong Atlantic University. She taught elementary school for ten years before becoming a stay-at-home mom and founding a DIY crafting business called Stephanie’s Craft Room, LLC.

One day, when Stephanie and her daughter, Nora, went on a walk, Nora pretended that objects in the neighborhood were safari animals. This turned into a tradition on all their walks—except with more appropriate (and magical) safari gear. Nora and Her Magical Binoculars is Stephanie’s debut book, and she hopes to share more of her and Nora’s imaginative adventures in the future.
