An old woman who lives by herself in a house down the block is described by a neighbor child who sees her gardening, feeding the birds and waving at passersby. Zolotow once again shows her supreme skill at pulling a story out of familiar, day-to-day experiences. (Ages 3-6)

If you are lucky you know someone like the elderly lady in this book. Whenever she sees you--coming home from school, trick-or-treating at Halloween, or walking with your dog in the wood--she makes you feel special. She is someone you admire. She is someone you love.
