A comforting and timely new picture book that feels like an instant classic, written and illustrated by Philip Stead, author of the Caldecott Medal-winning A Sick

Day for Amos McGee and the New York Times bestselling The Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine.

The limitless possibilities of the world outside our windows—and the

warmth and comfort of home—are explored in this thoughtful meditation on

the imagination, as seen from the point of view of a wise old dog.

Any child who has ever felt uncertainty about the world outside will be soothed and enchanted by the open-ended, seemingly-unanswerable, and utterly whimsical questions

this book poses: "Will I ever be the dawdle of a penguin? Will I ever be the waddle of a snail? Will I ever be the tumble of a honeybee? Will I ever be the bumble of a whale?"

Children will love poring over the vivid, whimsical artwork, asking their own imaginative questions, and thinking about their own view of the world outside their window. It's a perfect story for families to share together from the warmth and comfort of home.

这是一本令人欣慰和及时的新绘本，感觉就像瞬间就能成为经典，由凯迪克奖获奖作品《阿莫斯·麦基生病的一天》和《纽约时报》畅销书《麦淇淋王子失窃案》的作者菲利普·施泰德（Philip Stead）撰写和绘制插图。

这本充满想象力的绘本从一只聪明的老狗的角度，探讨了窗外世界的无限可能性，以及家庭的温暖和舒适。

任何曾经对外面的世界感到不确定的孩子都会被这本书提出的开放式的、似乎无法回答的、完全异想天开的问题所抚慰和迷惑。“我是否会像企鹅一样磨磨蹭蹭？我是否会像蜗牛一样蹒跚而行？我是否会像蜜蜂一样跌跌撞撞？我是否会像鲸鱼一样结结巴巴？”

孩子们会喜欢翻阅这些生动奇特的艺术作品，提出他们自己的想象力问题，并思考他们自己对窗外世界的看法。这是一个理想的故事，适合一家人在温暖舒适的家里一起分享。
