Marion Arbona
A wild, one-of-a-kind wordless picture book. A young girl is walking home from school in a big city. As she gazes up at window after window in the buildings on her route, she imagines the most fantastical goings-on behind them, which readers can see for themselves by opening the gatefold. An indoor jungle. A whale in a bathtub. Vampires playing badminton. Her imagination knows no bounds. Until, behind the last window, she is back in her own room, surrounded by some strangely familiar-looking toys. Kids will open their imaginations wide for the extraordinary happenings behind these windows!
