The Hello, Goodbye Window
Awarded for Raschka's beautiful illustrations, The Hello, Goodbye Window is about an interracial family spending time with their granddaughter. We see the window from the title as the little girl walks up the driveway to the house. Looking out of the window are the smiling faces of her grandparents. Throughout the story, this window is where the imaginative little girls sees the outside world like the pizza man, but also the magical dinosaur.
This is an interesting book that shows a biracial family in a positive light. This kind of book is imperative for teaching tolerance and helping kids feel accepted in schools.
