Nani takes her grandson to the park, and the journey there becomes one filled with wonder. Along the way, she takes him through the many delightful lanes of her neighborhood—places she has named with love: Lane of Beauty, Lane of Magic, Lane of Kindness, and Lane of Friendship. Each stop reveals a piece of Nani's magical world, filled with small joys like flowers, second-hand books, stalls, stray animals, and warm friendships. Told with minimal text and rich, full-spread illustrations, the story invites children to observe, imagine, and describe. It encourages them to see the beauty, kindness, and magic hidden in everyday surroundings. The story gently nudges children to appreciate their neighborhoods, to be curious, and to understand that wonder can be found in the most ordinary of places—if we slow down and look closely.
