An owl, a puppy, a bear, a rabbit, and a pig wait for marvelous things to happen in this irresistible and resonant picture book by the New York Times –bestselling and Caldecott Medalist Kevin Henkes. Five friends sit happily on a windowsill, waiting for something amazing to happen. The owl is waiting for the moon. The pig is waiting for the rain. The bear is waiting for the wind. The puppy is waiting for the snow. And the rabbit is just looking out the window because he likes to wait! What will happen? Will patience win in the end? Or someday will the friends stop waiting and do something unexpected? Waiting is a big part of childhood—waiting in line, waiting to grow up, waiting for something special to happen—but in this book, a child sets the stage and pulls the strings. Timeless, beautiful, and deeply heartfelt, this picture book about imaginative play, the seasons, friendship, and surprises is a Caldecott Honor and Geisel Honor Book. Share Waiting alongside Mo Willems's Waiting Is Not Easy at home or in a classroom—these books about waiting for kids will be enjoyed as picture book stories and also allow kids to explore their emotions about that ultimate frustration: waiting. “The short sentences of the text flow with the precision one would expect from a master picture-book creator like Henkes. Little ones, to whom each experience is new, will know what it’s like to dream and wait.”—ALA Booklist Review: Pretty, with a sweet message - Beautiful illustrations, sweet story. Not overly wordy which is great for my littles at this stage in their listening ability. Review: We laugher and loved this book so much I can't express how touching ... - We recently visited our 3 1/2 year old granddaughter and I brought this book along as a gift to her. From the first moment I read it to her she was quite taken as I was too. We read it every day together for a week and each time noticed the subtle facial expressions and body placements of the waiting crew. There is so much in these words and pictures and we were especially fond of the page with the storm out the window and the expression on the pigs face. We laugher and loved this book so much I can't express how touching this book became to my granddaughter and I. After the second night she took turns reading it to gramma and papa, by looking at each page and remembering all the words. She also learned a new word in this book and we were so surprised that she even remembered it - Particular! I am going to get another copy to have at our house for when she visits. The drawings are beautiful, such a subtle, quiet treasure. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #7,393 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #74 in Children’s Books on Sleep #187 in Children's Books on Emotions & Feelings (Books) #350 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,425 Reviews | ## Images ![Waiting: A Gentle Story About Patience and Imagination for Children (Ages 4–8) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nO5OPtBtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty, with a sweet message *by B***S on January 20, 2026* Beautiful illustrations, sweet story.
