"This heart-warming story shows what can happen when people of any age reach out to each other. Spirits are lifted, people are included, stories are shared. The simple act of waving at someone who waves back sets off a chain of caring among age-mates and generations. The goodwill and creativity young Mateo uses to connect his schoolmates to Grandma will inspire readers and their families."-Jane Heitman Healy, retired librarian "Grandma's Window shines a light on the ageless ache of feeling lonely and the power of kind reactions like empathy and concern. Connections cross window glass and distance, bridged by caring children and helpful adults. Entertaining and uplifting." -Sandy Brehl, children's author, reviewer, and retired elementary teacher "This heartfelt story shares the reality of loneliness in the aging community. It also shows how a simple act of kindness can change the perspective of a child. Readers can view this story as a call to action to offer friendship and kindness to anyone they see alone."-Kristi Bernard, writer, and book reviewer at Kristi's Book Nook "Mateo is lonely as he looks out the bus window. He notices Grandma waving each day and he waves back! Can a simple gesture such as waving out the window help him make new friends? What happens when Grandma is no longer waving at her window? Mateo learns compassion for others in Grandma's Window. Based on a true story, Mateo discovers how smiling faces and waving hands can change a life. The illustrations portray a diverse community of school friends who help an elderly person feel less lonely. This important intergenerational story will inspire young people to care for others." -Susan Apps-Bodilly, retired elementary educator and author of One Room Schools and Seeds in Soil: Planting a Garden and Finding Your Roots "This charming story shows how small, kind acts can build goodwill and friendship throughout a community."-Rochelle Melander, author of Mightier Than the Sword: Rebels, Reformers, and Revolutionaries Who Changed the World through Writing
