Dad opens a book beside his child

Dad sat beside me
and opened a little book.

Dad points to a blue door in the book

On the page was a blue door.
“Door,” he said.

Dad waits while the child looks

Then he waited.
I looked at the page.

The child touches the blue door

I touched the blue door with one finger.
“You saw it,” said Dad.

They turn a sturdy page together

He lifted the edge of the thick page.
I held it with him.
Together, we turned it slowly.

A little house appears on the next page

On the next page was a little house.
Dad did not quiz me. We looked together.
A page for him, and a page with me.
