If you are lucky you know someone like the elderly lady in Sally's neighborhood! 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. At Christmas, she invites you in to see her beautiful Christmas tree (and maybe even gives you a Christmas treat!) She always has a flower from her carefully tended garden, just for you. She is someone you admire. She is someone you love.
This beautiful tale of an intergenerational friendship celebrates how small kindnesses can build strong relationships. Charlotte Zolotow's gentle and friendly neighbor knows how to make all the children around her feel welcome and loved, even in ordinary moments. With gorgeous illustrations by James Stevenson, this sweet story will encourage kids to find — or celebrate — the special ladies in their lives.
