Watch out! If you aren’t careful, someone might steal your nose!

I’ve got your nose!

Awww, shucks!

I might need that to smell.

Where did you put it?

I put it on a rocket and it’s flying to the moon!

I’ve got your ear!

Oh, pickles!

I might need that to hear.

Where did you put it?

I gave it to a kitchen witch to add into a herbal potion.

I’ve got your eye!

Oh me, oh my!

I might need that to see.

Where did you put it?

I sent it on a train to the sea.

I’ve got your toe!

Oh my goodness!

I might need that to walk.

Where did you put it?

I threw it to a dragon who took it to her cave.

I’ve got your lips!

Gee wizz!

I might need those to eat.

Where did you put them?

I ate them all up!

Yum

You are missing lots of you!

Nose

Ear

Eye

Toe

Lips

What will you do?

I still have my heart.

So I can still

love you.

And I still have my arms, so I will hug you!

Skye Thornton is a bright, engaging, and active four-year old. He likes riding his bike, making muffins with his neighbors, and going to a lovely school. Sometimes, he likes to steal his dad’s nose and send it to the moon, or send it on some other exciting adventure!

Daniela Papi-Thornton is Skye’s proud mama.

She likes making muffins with Skye and his friends and loves being a kitchen witch. She also loves helping transform Skye’s words into books, and can’t wait to do the same with her second son, Gio.

Maria Pérez is Skye’s proud Auntie and she loves illustrating books! She also loves mixing art and activism - her peace building super power. She travels a lot, all around the world, so if you want to steal her nose, you better know how to fly!

In this book, Skye and his daddy play “I’ve got your nose!” and Skye makes up elaborate stories of where the body parts have traveled.

Now YOU can play the game too!

Find someone you love, pretend to steal their nose, and see where the adventure takes you.

Just remember, some of the best adventures end with a hug!
