What are you waiting for? An owl, a puppy, a bear, a rabbit, and a pig—all toys arranged on a child’s windowsill—wait for marvelous things to happen in this irresistible picture book by the New York Times–bestselling and Caldecott Medalist Kevin Henkes.

Five friends sit happily on a windowsill, waiting for something amazing to happen. The owl is waiting for the moon. The pig is waiting for the rain. The bear is waiting for the wind. The puppy is waiting for the snow. 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. 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.
五个小人儿在等待……带斑点的猫头鹰在等待月亮，撑着伞的小猪在等待雨，雪橇上的小狗在等待雪。当天空终于飘起雪花，小狗心花怒放，他等待了那么久，而小兔子呢，她只是一直看着窗外。有时候，有人会离开。也有客人从远方而来，停留片刻又离开。他们能等到自己等待的东西吗？一本给孩子，也给大人的图画书。
