About This Book
Reach for this book when you have a child who seems quiet or unassuming in public but possesses a roaring, vivid imagination at home. It is a wonderful tool for validating the rich inner lives of children who may not always speak up in class or on the playground, showing them that their private thoughts are a source of great power and joy. Clinton Gregory appears to be an ordinary boy, but each night he embarks on spectacular secret adventures: fighting dragons, traveling to space, and outsmarting monsters. By celebrating Clinton's hidden heroics, Bruce Whatley encourages children to embrace their creativity and self-confidence. This story is perfect for the 4 to 8 age range, offering a comforting bridge between the mundane world and the infinite possibilities of a child's mind.

The book is entirely secular and safe. It touches on common childhood fears (monsters, dark) but treats them through a lens of empowerment. The resolution is hopeful and validating.
