About This Book
Parents should reach for this book when their child begins experiencing bedtime anxiety or insists that monsters are lurking in the shadows of their bedroom. It is a practical tool for families navigating the transition from a 'scary' world to a manageable one, moving beyond simple reassurance to active empowerment. The story follows Mia, a young girl who decides to stop hiding and instead engage with the creatures she fears. By framing fear as a lack of information, the book encourages children ages 3 to 8 to use communication and curiosity as tools for bravery. It is particularly effective because it doesn't dismiss the child's feelings as imaginary, but rather validates their experience while offering a humorous and heroic path forward. It is a helpful choice for parents who want to foster resilience and self-confidence during the nightly routine.
