I'd Like to Be the Window for a Wise Old Dog by Philip C Stead
A comforting and timely new picture book that feels like an instant classic, written and illustrated by Philip Stead, author of the Caldecott Medal-winning A Sick Day for Amos McGee and the New York Times bestselling The Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine. The limitless possibilities of the world outside our windows--and the warmth and comfort of home--are explored in this thoughtful meditation on the imagination, as seen from the point of view of a wise old dog. Any child who has ever felt uncertainty about the world outside will be soothed and enchanted by the open-ended, seemingly-unanswerable, and utterly whimsical questions this book poses: Will I ever be the dawdle of a penguin? Will I ever be the waddle of a snail? Will I ever be the tumble of a honeybee? Will I ever be the bumble of a whale? Children will love poring over the vivid, whimsical artwork, asking their own imaginative questions, and thinking about their own view of the world outside their window. It's a perfect story for families to share together from the warmth and comfort of home.ERIN and PHILIP STEAD are a picture book pair that have won numerous awards.
