It provides a perfect opening to talk about why rules exist and how being brave doesn't mean you have to go it alone. Nicholas's evening stroll turns into a series of small, atmospheric encounters with the world outside his garden. Parents will appreciate the way Sonya Hartnett captures the sensory experience of evening, creating a story that feels both adventurous and deeply comforting. It is an ideal choice for children aged 3 to 7 who are beginning to navigate their own small worlds and need reassurance that the door is always open when they are ready to return.
