About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a fear of the dark or nighttime anxiety. It serves as a bridge for children who feel embarrassed by their fears, showing them that even the world's most powerful heroes started out feeling small and afraid. This gentle origin story focuses on a young Bruce Wayne who, after a frightening encounter with bats, must learn to face his shadow and reclaim his sense of safety. While Batman is often associated with high-octane action, this version is specifically crafted for the 4 to 8 age range. It prioritizes emotional growth over combat, framing Bruce's transformation into Batman as a psychological victory rather than just a physical one. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's fear while providing a clear model for resilience and self-confidence, turning a scary bedroom corner into a place of hidden strength.
