Another Word for Neighbor
Angela Pham Krans, illustrated by Thai My Phuong
Han likes his quiet routine of tea, newspapers, and plants. When Kate and Olly and their family move in next door, he is unhappy with the disruption. The children’s curiosity and compassion gradually soften Han’s gruff manner and reveal a sensitive side. As a friendship develops between the neighbors, Han reflects on community and on the care people can offer one another.
