よるのかえりみち
Akiko Miyakoshi (宮越暁子)
- Reading
- Share it at a calm moment, pausing to look at the window clues together; if the footsteps prompt questions, invite possibilities without needing to settle what they mean.
- Themes
- Wondering about neighbours: The bunny uses lights, sounds and smells from nearby homes to imagine what neighbours might be doing. The story gives space to the bunny’s guesses, but does not confirm the neighbours’ activities or establish a judgement about them.
- Worth knowing
- Night-time sounds and unanswered wondering continue as the bunny falls asleep; consider whether that open-ended bedtime mood suits your child.
