"Waiting" by Kevin Henkes tells the story of five unique animal characters—two owls, a rabbit, a turtle, and a cat—who spend their days in a window watching the world outside. Each has their own perspective on life and the concept of waiting. The turtle is particularly patient, while the others are captivated by changes they observe. As the story unfolds, themes of anticipation, friendship, and the beauty of everyday moments are explored. The gentle illustrations and simple, heartfelt prose create a whimsical journey that captures the essence of waiting and the surprises that can come from it.
