# MILO & NORI — THE ANNOUNCEMENT THEY THOUGHT THEY KNEW
**A Story About Listening Before You Assume**

What happens when you think you already know what someone is going to say—and stop listening?

Join Milo and Nori on a meaningful adventure that explores the importance of listening carefully, thinking before you assume, and staying open to new information.

Sometimes, the biggest misunderstandings happen when we hear only part of a message or assume that we already know the whole story. Through a relatable school experience and an important lesson, this story encourages young readers to pause, pay attention, and discover what they might otherwise miss.

**Inside this story, children will discover:**
- Why listening carefully matters.
- How assumptions can lead to misunderstandings.
- Why it's important to stay curious and open-minded.
- How a small moment of attention can make a big difference.

Perfect for young readers who enjoy meaningful stories, **Milo & Nori — The Announcement They Thought They Knew** gently reminds children that listening is more than simply hearing words—it's being willing to understand what is actually being said.

Featuring the **Milo & Nori Big Idea** and a real-life moment from the author, this book offers families an opportunity to talk about listening, assumptions, and learning from everyday experiences.

**Milo & Nori Big Idea:**
