Summary

In tonight's story, Grandpa Henry gathers his four grandchildren—Lucy, Jack, Emma, and Noah—around the cozy fireplace on a cool Halloween evening, where they will sleep for the night. As the wind howls outside, he tells them the tale of a friendly giant he once met in an old, dusty apartment. What begins as a spooky encounter with heavy footsteps and slipping blankets turns into a beautiful story of friendship, kindness, and understanding, reminding the children that sometimes, things that seem scary are just misunderstood.
