A Caldecott Medal WinnerThis award-winning tale by the author of the
classic book The Phantom Tolbooth is a love song to that special
relationship between grandparents and grandchild.
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. The world for this little girl will soon grow larger and more
complex, but never more enchanting or deeply felt. Her story is both a
voyage of discovery and a celebration of the commonplace wonders that
define childhood, expressed as a joyful fusion of text with evocative
and exuberant art that garnered the highest honor in children's book
illustration in 2006.
