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 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 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.

A beautiful, lyrical picture book about a father, his daughter, and her imaginary friend raking leaves on a crisp fall day. With gorgeous pictures by E. B. Goodale, the illustrator of the acclaimed Windows, this book about family, fatherhood, friendship, and imagination is perfect for story time and bedtime sharing all year round. Critically acclaimed author Richard Jackson's enchanting story about love, family, and the power of the imagination follows Lula and her daddy as they rake leaves together on a crisp autumn day. Can Daddy see Akaraka, Lula's imaginary friend? Perhaps not, but he is willing to try, much to Lula's delight. A perfect book about parenthood and childhood to share together. The poetic text is a joy to read aloud and is enhanced by E. B. Goodale's bright, enticing illustrations. Just right for fans of Kevin Henkes's In the Middle of Fall and Julia Rawlinson's Fletcher and the Falling Leaves.
