The Tunnel written and illustrated by Anthony Browne (2008)

This is the story of a brother and sister who are constantly at odds with one another. One day, the two siblings find a mysterious tunnel and the brother, despite the trepidations of his sister, decides to journey through the tunnel. When the brother doesn't return, the sister enters in search of him. The tunnel leads to a magical and mysterious forest where the brother is apparently lost. Eventually the sister finds her brother who has turned into a stone figure. After her loving hug, the boy turns back to normal and the two return home. When asked about their day, the children simply smile, knowing that they've shared something only siblings can.
