Reach for this book when the lights go out and your child starts seeing scary shapes or monsters in the shadows of their bedroom. It is a perfect choice for children ages 3 to 7 who are experiencing the common developmental milestone of nighttime anxiety and need a playful way to reclaim their sense of safety. The story follows a young girl whose fear of monsters is neutralized not by dismissing the monsters, but by introducing an even more powerful, protective friend: her grandmother's fierce but loving dragon. Parents will appreciate how this book validates a child's imagination rather than simply telling them that monsters are not real. By using a gentle yet bold grandmother figure as the source of security, the book reinforces the idea of family protection and intergenerational bonds. It transforms the bedroom from a place of vulnerability into a space guarded by a loyal, magical ally. It is an excellent tool for opening a dialogue about what scares your child while providing a comforting, whimsical solution.
