Synopsis
Spare, layered text and soft, shimmering watercolour illustrations reveal how curiosity – and a change in perspective – can light up the world and forge surprising friendships.
Every day, while walking their dog, a child passes a woman seated in her wide front window. What is she doing? What does she see? Days pass, and the two neighbours exchange smiles, nods and waves. Soon they’re calling out “Hello!” But one day, the child finds the wide window empty and a For Sale sign outside. When the opportunity to look out through, instead of up into, that now-lonely window arrives, the rewards ripple out in heartwarming ways.
This beautifully illustrated picture-book ode to intergenerational friendship invites readers to reflect on how a different frame of reference can utterly transform the familiar and lead to completely new delights.
