About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with bedtime anxiety, recurring nightmares, or the fear of an 'unknown' presence in the dark. It provides a comforting, low-stakes environment to discuss how fear can affect our sleep and our ability to think clearly during the day. Through the familiar world of My Little Pony, children see that even the bravest friends get scared and that mystery-solving is a team effort. The story follows the Cutie Mark Crusaders as they investigate a strange creature causing panic in Ponyville. As the characters experience sleeplessness and bad dreams, the book gently explores the link between physical exhaustion and emotional regulation. It is a perfect bridge for 8 to 12 year olds who enjoy magic and mystery but need a narrative that validates their anxieties while offering a hopeful, proactive resolution. Parents will appreciate the focus on collaboration and the healthy way the characters seek help from mentors.
