Books with title Santa Through The Window

If you could see the whole world through your bedroom window, would you look through it? Would you mine caves for diamonds and rubies? Would you do battle with ten-foot tarantulas? Or would you stay in your room with your books and your mind closed to the world? From Africa's Great Rift Valley to the Australian Outback, Michael A. Woodward Jr.'s Through The Window takes readers on adventures across the world through the imaginative mind of a young scholar who escapes reality through her bedroom window.

Jo has a bit of fever, and would like both of her parents to stay home to care for her; sadly, her mom must go off to work. Jo spends a quiet day in the care of her stay-at-home father, waiting for Mom to return with a promised surprise. All day long Jo looks out the window waiting for Mom, and in the meantime she sees all her friends from the neighborhood — there goes the mailman, and there's the window cleaner, and Mrs. Ali from next door. But when will Mom be back with her surprise? This classic children's story sensitively portrays an ethnically diverse family and community, while Eileen Browne’s softly shaded art brings the endearing characters to life.
