This gentle story follows young Sally as she observes the daily rhythms of an elderly woman in her neighborhood who gardens, waves to children, and shares homemade treats. It is an ideal choice for fostering a sense of security and intergenerational connection in a world that can sometimes feel hurried or disconnected. Through Charlotte Zolotow's characteristic warmth, children ages 4 to 8 are invited to appreciate the quiet, steady kindness of others. It is particularly helpful for children who may be curious about or slightly intimidated by older adults, transforming that curiosity into a sense of belonging and friendship.
