About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing the patterns of the neighborhood or shows curiosity about the quiet lives of others. It is an ideal choice for navigating the bittersweet feelings of change, such as when a friendly neighbor moves away or a familiar routine is disrupted. This gentle story follows a child who builds a silent, waving friendship with an elderly neighbor through a window. When the neighbor moves, the child gets to step inside that same house and see the world from the woman's perspective. It beautifully models how empathy and curiosity can turn a stranger into a friend. At its core, this is a lesson in perspective and the invisible threads that connect us to our community. It is perfectly suited for children ages 3 to 7 who are developing social awareness and learning to process small but significant transitions in their daily lives.
