The Hello, Goodbye Window (2006)

The kitchen window at Nanna and Poppy's house is, for one little girl, a magic gateway. Everything important happens near it, through it, or beyond it. Told in her voice, her story is both a voyage of discovery and a celebration of the commonplace wonders that define childhood. It is also a love song devoted to that special relationship between grandparents and grandchild.

The world for this little girl will soon grow larger and more complex but never more enchanting or deeply felt.

Norton Juster is an architect (retired), a teacher (retired), and a grandfather (just warming up), as well as a writer. He is the author of the children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth and the mathematical romance The Dot and the Line.
