About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing their first night away from home, a camping trip, or the frantic search for a missing security object. It is a perfect choice for children who struggle with bedtime anxiety or who rely heavily on a 'lovey' to feel safe in new environments. The story follows a young Knight and her horse, Edward, as they set out on a camping adventure. When the Knight realizes her Teddy is missing, she bravely searches the dark woods, only to encounter a real bear instead of her stuffed one. This gentle graphic novel addresses the fear of the unknown and the resilience needed to solve a problem when things do not go as planned. It normalizes the attachment children have to their toys while providing a humorous, low-stakes adventure that proves the 'scary' woods are actually quite friendly. Parents will appreciate how it bridges the gap between picture books and comics, making it an excellent tool for emerging readers who need visual cues to help navigate complex emotions.
