The story follows a young child who decides to confront the imaginary creatures lurking in the house, transforming a source of anxiety into a moment of personal triumph. Bettina Birkjær uses gentle prose and evocative pen and ink illustrations to validate a child's imagination while providing a roadmap for bravery.
