Reach for this book when your child starts reporting monsters in the closet or refuses to sleep without the lights on. It is a perfect tool for children who feel overwhelmed by nighttime fears and need a sense of agency to overcome them.

Through humorous illustrations and a feisty protagonist, the book explores themes of bravery, self-confidence, and creative problem-solving. It is ideally suited for children ages 3 to 6 who are transitioning into 'big kid' sleeping habits. By humanizing the monsters and giving Rosie the upper hand, it helps demystify the dark and provides a gentle, empowering framework for parents to discuss anxiety with their little ones.
