Subtly building on the idea that children initially see only their own points of view before developing empathy and understanding of others, the narrator grows in the ability to take a wider view and even make a new friend through sharing the neighbor’s perspective. This book would be useful to encourage children to look at their own surroundings in new ways and consider what they may be missing.
