Neighbors are what make a home

outside we see all the neighbors we know; building, community, friends

it's important to remember to slow down, bus, help

and always say thank you

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2-In Chan's latest, an Asian child's neighborhood walk with their pup encourages readers to slow down and connect with others. The story begins indoors as the child clips an orange leash on the eager pooch and, on the title page, leaves a low-rise apartment. The true-to-life stroll that follows mixes typical dog behavior (and waste) with short, sweet interactions with neighbors and community helpers. Whether keeping everyone safe, tidying things up, or rescuing a cat from a tree, the neighbors "take care of each other" and are "a big family." That's why, as the child narrator advises, it's important to always say, "Thank you, neighbor!" The walk eventually circles back home, where an adult greets the child with warm, steaming dumplings. The bright, colorful digital cartoon illustrations provide plenty of opportunities for engagement and discovery. Readers can peer through windows or look in backgrounds for small, often comedic, details. The urban setting's denizens are diverse in age and skin tone; a few use canes or wheelchairs. Of the many professions represented, one librarian's subtly tattooed arm is a delightfully stereotype-breaking touch. A visual reference to Matt de la Peña and Christian Robinson's Last Stop on Market Street positions this similarly community-minded story with a strong sense of place as a wonderful companion. An author's note and photo (with real neighbors!) provides personal context about Chan's own walks through Brooklyn with her dog. VERDICT A welcome reminder for readers in all kinds of neighborhoods. Highly recommended.-Alec Chunn, Eugene P.L., ORα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

This is the perfect post-Covid children's book. We took many walks in our neighborhood during the pandemic and this book highlights the need to slow down, be grateful and enjoy our exciting, diverse community. Great, relatable illustrations with an important, yet simple message.

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023
Even if the reading age is 4-8 yrs, we read this book to our baby as it was gifted to him by dear friends. He is 8 months old and he will pick this book specifically from a bunch of other books or will aim to reach it from his floor bookshelf even if there are others easier to reach. The story feels so positive and the illustrations colorful and funny. I wish it came in a board book version, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely!
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021
What an amazing book to remind a kid that there is the potential for community all around them. A simple act of walking a dog around a block, or a daily small wave or hello can build up over time to create a very special network of love and support for a human (not just for kids!) I love the message of gratitude to these people who buffer our lives in small but continual ways. The art pops and is filled with fun. Love it.

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2023
Cute book with a great message!

I liked this book because it showed the people in the neighborhood. The writing is sharp, and the story moved along at a great clip, too. I loved the colorful illustrations and felt drawn right into the story.

In some places, it’s hard to know the neighbors. This book shows how it can be much easier if you just open yourself up a little bit. I liked that the main character used her dog as a reason to get out into the community and that she was willing to open up and simply say hi. It showed that just because you don’t look like your neighbors doesn’t mean you can’t be friends.

If you want a story that’s got a great message and it’s fun, then this is the book for you.

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2022
This is a wonderful book and celebration of community! We love the pictures, and the little stories of the neighbors. My kids (4 and 6) enjoy talking about the neighbors in the book and in our own neighborhood, and acts of kindness we can do together. We decided to get this book as a gift for several of our neighbors!
