A gentle, beautifully illustrated story about patience, imagination, and the quiet wonder of childhood.
Five friends — an owl, a pig, a bear, a puppy, and a rabbit — sit together on a windowsill, each waiting for something magical to happen: the moon, the rain, the wind, the snow… or simply the joy of watching and wondering.
With spare, poetic text and warm, expressive artwork, Kevin Henkes celebrates the art of waiting and the unexpected surprises it can bring. This timeless picture book encourages mindfulness, curiosity, and the beauty of simply being present.
