“The rabbit with stars wasn‘t waiting for anything in particular. He just liked to look out the window and wait.”
pickPicture Book- Waiting by Kevin Henkes (2015) Caldecott honor-Author uses gentle, muted colors — browns, pinks, green-blue tones — that feel soothing and calm. The pages often have light, neutral backgrounds, which help the toys and small changes outside the window stand out without overwhelming the eye.
Waiting by Kevin Henkes is best for ages 3–7 (Preschool to 2nd grade).Young children can easily follow along, while the quiet tone encourages focus and reflection.
I think this book could be used in many ways in the classroom. It can create conversations about the importance of being patient, and it can also teach about the importance of having a journey rather than just focusing on the destination.
