Look Through My Window

This is a book I have loved since I was a little girl. The main character was a gentle, quiet, thoughtful child who lives in Canada. She moves from an apartment to a house in another part of the town where her boisterous cousins, John (7), James (5), Jean (4) and Ann (3) join her. John is her male counterpart in that he, too, is quiet and serious. James, the funloving mischief maker provides comic relief and he, too, appears to be the male counterpart to Kate, the protagonist's friend and classmate.The characters are all richly drawn and realistic and this book will delight all ages. I still love it.

I would LOVE to have a copy of this book for my two girls. I read it only once and still remember how I felt when I read it. IT MADE A LASTING IMPRESSION!!!
