BOOK:
WINDOWS
Walking his dog at dusk, one boy catches glimpses of the lives around him in this lovely ode to autumn evenings, exploring your neighborhood, and coming home. A story about the idea of home and the magic of curiosity, but also about how a sense of safety and belonging is something to which every child is entitled.
RHYME: HERE IS A HOUSE
Here is a house built up high (hands over head to make a roof)
With two big chimneys reaching for the sky (raise arms up high)
Here is a window (draw a square)
Here is a door (pretend to open a door)
If we look inside (peek through fingers)
There’s a mouse on the floor! (scamper fingers away)
