Night Windows

Night Windows
by Aart Jan Venema (Author / Illustrator)

Booktalk: Adjusting to life in a new city is tough. When a young boy moves from the countryside, everyone around him seems so unfriendly. Lonely and homesick, he sits on a bench outside his new apartment block and watches the busy urban lives going on behind the lit windows. Gradually he begins to interact with the people around him, and ends up making a whole host of new friends.

Everyone Walks Away

Booktalk: Frank feels lonely when everyone walks away. It’s the same as always. But once home, he makes a special jam then invites other people. Maybe they’ll come over. The ending is open-ended, so you can discuss what you think will happen next . . . and why.
