Reach for this book when your child starts lingering at the bedroom door or complaining about strange noises and shadows after the lights go out. It is a powerful tool for children experiencing nighttime anxiety, as it reframes the scary parts of the dark into a source of wonder and protection. The story suggests that we don't see monsters not because they aren't there, but because an elite, invisible army of Night Knights is working tirelessly to keep them away. By personifying shadows and architectural details as heroic guardians, the book validates a child's fear while simultaneously providing a creative shield. It is ideal for children aged 4 to 8 who are transitioning to sleeping alone or who have active imaginations that run wild at bedtime. Parents will appreciate how it shifts the narrative from fear of the unknown to confidence in being watched over by a grand, fantastical force.
