Adjusting to life in a new city is tough. When a young boy moves from
the countryside, everyone around him seems so unfriendly. Lonely and
home- sick, he sits on a bench outside his new apartment block and
watches the busy urban lives going on behind the lit windows. A writer
struggles with writers block, a cook creates magnificent meals for
herself, a young woman cultivates a luxuriant garden on her balcony and
mum struggles to keep four kids under control. Night after night he
watches his neighbours’ lives unfold before him, observing the tiny
details of each story, until one evening someone else is sitting on his
bench. Gradually he begins to interact with the people around him, and
decides to throw a big party to bring all the neighbours together....
This is a heartwarming tale about fitting in and making friends,
illustrated in Aart Jan Venema’s distinctive, intricate style. Packed
with hilarious details, Night Windows is a beautiful book that will keep
children young and old entertained for hours.
