Description

A family had once moved into a different house.

It was just a small family - a mum, a dad, and a little girl called Sarah.

Well, this house was not exactly new - in fact it was one of those big old houses full of space and echoes.

Come and explore this new home with Sarah and discover a mysterious cupboard that is holding a very magical secret!

From celebrated children's writer Margaret Mahy and the winner of the 2021 Margaret Mahy Illustration Prize, Minrui Yang, comes a magical story of imagination and discovery, published as a picture book for the very first time.
