With gorgeous language and stunning illustrations, this gem of a picture book perfectly captures the magic of childhood summertime. Lyrical and lively phrasing invite readers to join the characters in the book and participate in the fun. Not only is this a great read-aloud, but it will also inspire kids to go out and create their own neighborhood outdoor adventures.

A book that encourages play, moments, and memories during the time of day called dusk.

I feel like this is a depiction of previous generations as we have become more fearful of allowing our children to be children and explore the outdoors.
I love the flow of the words in the story & I think the illustrations are stunning!
I bet everyone remembers when they were young and that magical time in the summer when you play outside - it's light enough to see, but dark enough that makes you feel you're outside in a time when you're not supposed to be! Perfect beginning of summer read.
