Juliana is too sick to go to school one cold, winter day. So she stays at home in bed and looks out her bedroom window. She watches as a tall lady in a red coat and hat carries her boxes of books and papers upstairs. Her mother has heard that the mysterious woman is a poet writing a book. Juliana loves books and can't wait to meet the poet upstairs.

Juliana listens to the poet's typewriter clicking and clacking all day long, while outside the snow falls and people rush by bundled up in their coats. She dreams of a tiny tropical island "sitting on the ocean like a green button on a blue dress," the island home that her mother and the poet share. She dreams of red hibiscus flowers and beaches of white sand.  Amazon.
