Time is measured in the repeated refrain of a four-paned window, through which seasons change and change again. The soft, muted illustrations expand on that possibility, further illuminating how the quiet between big moments is as important as the moments themselves. The finely paced narrative expresses and extends the sense of possibility in waiting, whether attached or unattached to expectation. Kevin Henkes’s lyrical picture book is a graceful and perfect interplay between words and images. But there are always new things to see, occasional visitors, and sometimes delightful surprises. Some waiting is easily fulfilled-the moon shows itself often. By Kevin Henkes, Kevin Henkes, ISBN: 9780062368430, Hardcover. Look at the owl and the pig and the bear and the puppy and the rabbit. An owl with spots waits for the moon, a pig with an umbrella waits for the rain, a bear with a kite waits for the wind, a puppy on a sled waits for the snow, and a rabbit with stars looks out the window in which they all sit, happy to be just be watching.
