Summary:
The Hello, Goodbye Window is an amazing book about a little girl and her
experiences at her grandparents house with this special window. This book is
sweet and warm. It is focused around this window and everything that involved
it. As she arrives there she plays games with her grandparents before she goes
in. She eats dinner next to this window and says goodnight to all the stars
through it before bed. She wakes up and eats her grandpas special breakfast
next to the window and when she leaves she blows her grandparents kisses through
it. This book won the
Caldecott in 2006 and I think it deserved it. These abstract watercolor
pictures were different than anything I have ever seen. The books words inspire
creativity and I think the pictures do just the same. The pictures are extremely
colorful and very appealing to the eye.
