This feel-good story leaves the reader thinking of their own important people and the special places they might share with them. It is the place they spend time, imagine, and dream. It is the first place that she goes to say hello and the last place that she says goodbye each time she visits. It is a special window and different than all the others. Through Juster’s words and Raschka’s bright and dynamic illustrations, the reader sees one very unique part of the grandparents’ house: the Hello, Goodbye Window. This is the sweet story of a little girl, her relationship with her grandparents, and the special time they spend together when she visits each week.
