About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is experiencing nighttime anxiety or finding it difficult to sleep due to 'spooky' sounds outside their window. It is an ideal choice for transforming a child's fear of the unknown into a feeling of empathy and security, especially during stormy weather or seasonal transitions like Halloween. While the title suggests a ghost story, the narrative is actually a lyrical and atmospheric poem that humanizes a legendary figure of folklore. Instead of a monster to be feared, the Banshee is depicted as a lonely wanderer searching for the warmth of a home. Through beautiful illustrations and rhythmic prose, the story shows how the safety of a family's love creates a shield against the cold, dark night. It is a gentle way to introduce mythology while providing the emotional comfort of being tucked in safe and sound.
