What is Window about?

A mother and her baby look through a window at a wild landscape. As the baby grows into a young man, the view changes year by year. Trees disappear, houses and roads spread, and the countryside becomes increasingly crowded. Told entirely through Jeannie Baker’s detailed collages, this wordless picture book invites readers to observe the passing of time and think about how people shape the natural world. It is a quiet, powerful story about growing up, change and the environment.
