Alex Remembers

Reach for this book when your child is feeling unusually jumpy or sensing 'spooky' vibes from the shadows and sounds of a changing season. It is a quiet, atmospheric story that acknowledges the way a full moon or a rustling leaf can trigger a deep, unexplained sense of unease. By focusing on how a young boy comforts his pets, the story allows children to process their own night-time anxieties from a safe, caregiving perspective. The book follows Alex the dog and his cat companion as they react to the ancient, wild instincts stirred by an autumn night. Through gentle prose and a calm resolution, it validates the feeling that the world can sometimes feel strange and 'too big,' while reinforcing the security found in a loving home. It is an ideal choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are developing a more complex imagination and may need help grounding themselves during bedtime struggles.
