Description:
When this curly-haired little girl visits Nanna and Poppy, every magical moment seems to happen at one special spot—the kitchen window of their big house. She waves hello when she arrives, peeks at silly faces, watches the garden change, spies a passing pizza-delivery boy or even a Tyrannosaurus Rex, sings songs with her granddad, and finally presses her face against the glass to wave goodbye when it's time to go home. Norton Juster, the much-loved author of The Phantom Tollbooth, tells this gentle, joyful story in the girl's own warm voice, capturing the everyday wonders that make time with grandparents feel like the most enchanting place in the world. Paired with Chris Raschka's Caldecott Medal-winning watercolour illustrations—bursting with bright squiggles and child-like energy—this is a perfect lap-time celebration of family, imagination and the small magical rituals of childhood.
