About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their early reader is starting to show curiosity about their surroundings, perhaps asking questions about empty houses or new neighbors. This simple story follows two siblings, Tim and Sue, as they explore an empty house and use their imaginations to picture the lives of the people who once lived there. It gently nurtures a sense of wonder, creativity, and the confidence that comes with reading a story all by oneself. For a 6 to 8-year-old, it’s a perfect, low-stakes adventure that validates their imaginative world and encourages them to find magic in ordinary places.
