Wendy and her mother have to leave "a broken-down place" and Wendy's new world becomes what she sees through her wonderful window: all the excitement and experiences that other children her age often take for granted. Flowing rhyme and detailed pictures give expression to her hopes and dreams as she and her mother deal with the consequences of not having a home. Wendy's Wonderful Window provides grammar school-age children a unique opportunity to explore and appreciate this type of situation.
