The Hello, Goodbye Window is a 2006 Caldecott Medal Winner by Norton Juster, illustrated by Chris Raschka
The Hello, Goodbye Window is a picture book written from a young girl's point or view. The young girl describes her grandparent's kitchen window, the "Hello, Goodbye window" where you can see the inside of the house from outside; if you're inside the house, you can look out and see what is happening around the house in the yard, street, or the sky.
The Hello, Goodbye Window is full of bright colored illustrations that are child-like drawings. These illustrations show the reader what the girl can see and how she sees it. The drawings reinforce the text and show the setting of the story.
