Walking his dog at dusk, one boy catches glimpses of the lives around him in this lovely ode to autumn evenings, exploring your neighbourhood, and coming home.Before your city goes to sleep, you might head out for a walk, your dog at your side as you go out the door and into the almostnight. Anything can happen on such a walk you might pass a cat, or a friend, or even an early raccoon. And as you go down your street and around the corner, the windows around you light up one by one until you are walking through a maze of paper lanterns, each one granting you a brief, glowing snapshot of your neighbours as families come together and folks settle in for the night. With a setting that feels both specific and universal and a story full of homages to The Snowy Day, Julia Denos and E. B. Goodale have created a unique book at once about the idea of home and the magic of curiosity, but also about how a sense of safety and belonging is something to which every child is entitled.
