In each of the double-page views through the window, readers can note not just the physical changes, but also the people in the community actively engaged in affecting those changes and producing a true home.

The community brings back a variety of local plants, and by the time the young woman's own baby is born, trees block the billboards, there are birds on the roof and in the sky, and cyclists and a bus can be seen on the roadway. The details show and tell a story about the small things in one neighborhood—their fragility, strength, and connection—and their power to make a difference.\" - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist (starred review)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenwillow Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44887541088485,"sku":"NP9780066239354","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780066239354.jpg?v=1730226325","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/home-isbn-9780066239354","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
