A child explores her neighborhood on a late-night walk with her dad, finding delight and comfort in moments of quiet and the warm windows into other peopleā€™s lives.

When a little girl canā€™t sleep one night, her dad asks if sheā€™d like to go for a walk. They tiptoe through the silent house and step out into the dark.

Itā€™s strange and exciting to be out so late. Walking down the street, the girl can see inside the lit-up windows of apartment buildings and houses where peopleā€™s lives are unfolding. Kids are having a pillow fight in one house, while a family has gathered for a festive meal in another. She and her dad reach the still-busy shopping area, walking past restaurants and enticing store windows, then stop for a tranquil moment in the park before returning home.

Sara Oā€™Leary has captured a childā€™s nighttime wonder as she explores her neighborhood and comes to the comforting realization that she belongs. Ellie Arscottā€™s illustrations, luminous and rich in color, perfectly complement the story.
