The Old Woman is a beautiful portrait of an old woman who lives
contentedly with her dog, from award-winning author Joanne Schwartz
and illustrator Nahid Kazemi. An old woman shares her home with a
scruffy old dog, her best friend and constant companion. One fall
day, they go for a walk and the woman throws sticks for the dog.
She loves hearing the autumn leaves under her feet and the wind in
the trees. She looks up at a crow in the sky and imagines what it
might feel like to fly. As the wind comes up and the light begins
to fade, she remembers playing outside as a child, never wanting to
go in. Suddenly she notices a stunning harvest moon against the
darkening sky. The next morning, as she sits outside to watch the
sun rise, she looks forward to spending a new day with her friend.
Gentle illustrations accompany this portrayal of an elderly person
who lives peaceably with her dog, appreciating what each moment
brings. Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English
