This set of slice-of-life stories with little twists focuses on four young children and their diverse families. The three-part structure opens with a page of vignettes introducing the waiting children--William on his front stoop, Annie in her backyard, and Thomas in his house. Schwartz's gouache and pen-and-ink illustrations revel in capturing homey, domestic details and characters' gestures and movements.
