Regina Hanson

After the death of her beloved grandmother, Sareen finds comfort in a traditional Jamaican ceremony that celebrates Nana’s life.

"[A] gentle story...readers will learn much about the love of family, customs, and foods in the Jamaican culture."

“The Face at the Window is a wonderful tool for teaching children...about differences, about stigma, and about understanding mental illnesses.”

Selected as Outstanding by Parent Council ®

“...lyrical in the extreme and resonating with broader overtones.... All of the story’s details have been carefully weighed and flow effortlessly into metaphor; from the emotions of a little girl, Hanson cuts a small jewel of a book.”
