Neighbors is a contemplative picture book about the lives of our neighbors—who are all around us and ever-present, yet somehow surprisingly elusive. They're everywhere: next door, above, and even below. More often than not, they are a mystery, a presence suggested by low hums, footfalls, or perhaps a slammed door.This book explores the ways that we think about those we exist among, but who remain strangers until we make the brave—and affirming—decision to connect.• From debut author-illustrator Kasya Denisevich• An exploration of neighbors coexisting together in one very special apartment building• Dynamic black-and-white illustrations blur the line between imagination, dreams, and reality.As Neighbors illustrates so beautifully, that moment of connection is a portal to a world of possibility.This unique book uses both visual storytelling and compelling text to consider how we map the landscape of the vast world around us, starting with the person just on the other side of the apartment wall. • Explores what it means to exist in a world of strangers, friends, and neighbors who are both alike and completely different from each other• Perfect for children ages 3 to 5 years old• Makes a great pick for parents and grandparents, as well as librarians, teachers, and educators• You'll love this book if you love books like Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller, The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers by Stan and Jan Berenstain, and The Big Umbrella by Amy June Bates.

This edition has extensive information and annotations not included in the original.She was a privileged, white New York City woman. In 1902, she married an Arapaho man in Cheyenne, Wyoming, spending many years on the Wind River Reservation with him, raising their five daughters. She and her husband, Episcopal Bishop, Sherman Coolidge, lived among and grew close to reservation residents while doing what they could to advance Indian interests on a local, practical level and nationally.In this poignant, compassionate series of stories based on her experiences, Grace wrote in a beautiful, spare style of her neighbors and friends at Wind River. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she saw them as fellow human beings from whom everything had been taken, including their dignity, and little given in return. The result was desperate poverty and a constant struggle to survive.Grace Coolidge's stories are still relevant to anyone in the 21st century who cares about justice and has an interest in the history of Native Americans. Though often painful, they are still a pleasure to read for their humanity and for the unusual perspective of a white woman living on the reservation.
