Natalie Cunningham, Magic of the Night Sky (PEOPLE 2022)

As my daughter's birthday came to a close, I found her on our balcony gazing up in wonder at the sky as night began to fall. She was wearing her galaxy pyjamas and clutching her dumpling lantern which she had received as a gift which was illuminating her wondrously in the darkness. This candid moment brought upon that childhood nostalgia when not just the stars, but the world seems magical; and was a good reminder that it actually is.
