The Hello, Goodbye Window
Juster, Norton / Raschka, Christopher FIC .026 JUS
PreSchool-Grade 2
The window in Nanna and Poppy's kitchen is no ordinary window–it is the place where love and magic happens.
It's where the girl and her doting grandparents watch stars, play games, and, most importantly, say hello and
goodbye. The first-person text is both simple and sophisticated, conjuring a perfectly child-centered world.
Sentences such as "When I get tired I come in and take my nap and nothing happens until I get up" typify the
girl's happy, imaginative world. While the language is bouncy and fun, it is the visual interpretation of this sweet
story that sings. Using a bright rainbow palette of saturated color, Raschka's impressionistic, mixed-media
illustrations portray a loving, mixed-race family. The artwork is at once lively and energetic, without crowding the
story or the words on the page; the simple lines and squiggles of color suggest a child's own drawings, but this is
the art of a masterful hand. Perfect for lap-sharing, this book will find favor with children and adults alike.
