Bookroo's summary
As dusk falls, a boy and his dog wander through their neighborhood, witnessing the quiet magic of evening. Each lit window offers a glimpse into the lives of those around him, like a series of glowing paper lanterns. Cats, friends, and even raccoons cross his path, weaving a tapestry of community and belonging. What stories unfold behind each illuminated pane? Discover the warmth and wonder of a world settling in for the night, where every child finds a sense of home and safety.
From the publisher
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 almost-night. 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 neighbors as families come together and folks settle in for the night.
