The Hello, Goodbye Window
by Chris Raschka
Summary
A little girl describes visits to her grandparents' house, where the kitchen window becomes a magic place for waving hello and goodbye and watching the world go by. Raschka's loose, exuberant watercolors splash bright color across the pages in a style that mirrors a child's joyful, unfiltered way of seeing. Written by Norton Juster, the book captures the warmth of an extended family and the small rituals that make a grandparent's home feel safe.
