Outside Amelia's Window Summary

Outside Amelia's Window by Caroline Nastro

New friends to meet, new worlds to explore... Amelia is a shy little girl with a big imagination. After an injury, she finds solace in stories-fairy tales about faraway lands and magical creatures. When two children move in next door, Amelia wonders: Can she play with them? Can she be as brave as the heroines in the stories she reads? With the help of a little bird outside her window, Amelia finds the courage she needs to embark on a journey in her new wheelchair...where she discovers that there is magic to be found just outside her window. With lyrical text and lovely watercolor illustrations, Outside Amelia's Window is a heartfelt story about friendship, new beginnings, and embracing the beauty of the world around us.

Outside Amelia's Window Reviews

Budisan's delicate but vivid pencil-and-watercolor illustrations subtly convey Amelia's emotions and lend a dreamlike feel to the redstarts' rhythmically described migration, quietly enhancing Nastro's simple, gently encouraging text. Fledgling ornithologists will particularly appreciate the notebook-style bird facts scattered across the endpapers....An uplifting tale of birds and bravery. -Kirkus Reviews The delightful story does a marvelous job of giving Amelia room to explore life on her own terms, and the dreamy pencil-and-watercolor illustrations are wonderfully creative....A gentle reminder of the joy to be found in embracing adventure and expanding horizons. -Booklist
