Lovely, sweet, and restful. History Momma This book is absolutely lovely. It is also nothing like what I expected -- apparently there is a whole Kevin Henkes world that we need to discover. We know and love Henkes from Chrysanthemum, Owen, Lilly, Wemberly; you know, his wonderful mice. Those books are funny, both in the text and in the pictures, and a little bit silly, but also sweet, loving, and wonderful for chil. Lisa Genschel said Picture books are for everyone!. I had the privilege of hearing Kevin Henkes talk about his new book, Waiting, and read it aloud at our local independent bookstore. He told us how Waiting grew from an idea, an observation, to a story. He also shared how the artwork evolved. The story will appeal to a wide range of ages. For me, I think about how gazing out the window changes over time. How we as viewers ca. "Not for sensitive kids" according to Mom in DC. Love love love Kevin Henkes and was excited for this book. Was hoping it would teach my kids the value of patience. The illustrations are gorgeous (as usual!). However, the story made my son cry :(. The toys in the story are alive (much like Toy Story) and they are waiting for something to happen. One day a new toy joined them and "left and never returned" (illustration sho
The pig is waiting for the rain. The owl is waiting for the moon. The bear is waiting for the wind. Little ones, to whom each experience is new, will know what it’s like to dream and wait.”—ALA Booklist. 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. 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. Caldecott Honor an
The careful placement of the text and images establishes a leisurely pace, encouraging readers and listeners to slow down, examine the pictures, and discuss. With an economy of words and gently repeating patterns, the text informs readers about the emotional ups and downs of this tiny band of friends: what makes them happy (getting what they've waited for), what makes them sad (when one of them goes away), and what surprises them (gifts, visitors, new friends.) Along with happiness and friendship, there are small moments of grief, anxiety, and existential wonder—all thoughtfully and authentically depicted with childlike honesty and optimism. Are these sentient little beings or are they moved and posed by an unseen child? Henkes leaves it up to readers to determine. There's an owl with spots waiting for the moon, a pig with the umbrella waiting for the rain, a bear with a
