About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is lying awake, startled by the booms and crashes of a passing storm or the mysterious creaks of a quiet house. It is designed for children who experience nighttime anxiety, transforming scary auditory triggers into the foundation for a grand, imaginative quest. The story follows a young girl and a majestic horse queen as they venture out to discover the source of the loud noises keeping them awake, ultimately finding a whimsical and non-threatening explanation. This rhythmic adventure is perfect for children aged 4 to 8, bridging the gap between a picture book and a beginning chapter book. It validates a child's fear of the dark while providing a creative framework to reclaim power over those fears. By turning a 'scary' noise into a 'story' noise, the book helps normalize nighttime sensory experiences and encourages bravery through curiosity. It is an excellent choice for establishing a comforting bedtime routine during stormy seasons.
