Reach for this book when your child is oscillating between brave bravado and genuine nighttime anxiety. It is the perfect tool for those transition moments when a toddler or preschooler insists they are a 'big kid' who isn't afraid of anything, yet still asks for the closet light to stay on. The story follows a young protagonist who ventures through a series of spooky scenarios, claiming at every turn that they are not frightened of ghosts, only to have their courage tested in a playful, relatable way. This book is a gentle mirror for children aged 3 to 6 who are beginning to navigate the difference between imagination and reality. It validates their desire to be brave while providing a safe, humorous space to acknowledge that things that go bump in the night can be a little bit scary after all. Parents will appreciate how it uses humor and repetitive structure to de-escalate bedtime fears, making the concept of 'ghosts' feel more like a game than a threat.
