    Running of the Noses Cover

    Running of the Noses

    Written by Jon-Barrett Ingels

    Illustrated by Patrick Ballesteros

    Ages 4-7 | 40 Pages

    Publisher: Piper + Enza (2022) | ISBN-13: 9788985174304

    What to Expect: Health, facing fears, friendship, inclusivity.

    There are a lot of books for kids about snot, but not so many that combine humor, instruction, and great storytelling the way Running of the Noses does.

    Nicco feels terrible about his runny nose, but Piper is sure she can cheer him up! She tells him about how trees talk to mushrooms to stop getting sick, tells him wild tales about other out-of-control runny noses, and even shares a story about herself as a snot-sneezing dragon. But Nicco is still worried – will he have to go to the doctor? Will he have to get a SHOT?! Piper’s not sure, but she lends him Bird—with Bird to keep him company, Nicco can be brave. As it turns out, neither doctors nor runny noses are as bad as they seem.  

    Running of the Noses gently acknowledges and validates the anxiety many kids feel about being sick and visiting the doctor while still offering reassuring advice. Piper’s upbeat character and the dynamic, comic-book style illustrations are the perfect antidotes to feeling under the weather. Peppered throughout the story and offered in a Q&A at the end are facts to help readers understand what a runny nose is and how it protects their bodies.

    Running of the Noses is funny, entertaining, and reassuring—and just in time for Spring allergies.
