Caldecott Honor and Geisel Honor Book What are you waiting for? An
owl, a puppy, a bear, a rabbit, and a pig-all toys arranged on a
child's windowsill-wait for marvelous things to happen in this
irresistible picture book by the New York Times-bestselling and
Caldecott Medalist Kevin Henkes. Five friends sit happily on a
windowsill, waiting for something amazing to happen. The owl is
waiting for the moon. The pig is waiting for the rain. The bear is
waiting for the wind. The puppy is waiting for the snow. And the
rabbit is just looking out the window because he likes to wait!
What will happen? Will patience win in the end? Or someday will the
friends stop waiting and do something unexpected? Waiting is a big
part of childhood-waiting in line, waiting to grow up, waiting for
something special to happen-but in this book, a child sets the
stage and pulls the strings. Timeless, beautiful, and deeply
heartfelt, this picture book about imaginative play, the seasons,
friendship, and surprises marks a new pinnacle in Caldecott
Medalist Kevin Henkes's extraordinary career. "The short sentences
of the text flow with the precision one would expect from a master
picture-book creator like Henkes. Little ones, to whom each
experience is new, will know what it's like to dream and wait."-ALA
