A parent should reach for this book when their child is consistently fearful of the dark, checking under the bed, or feeling overwhelmed by a wild imagination at bedtime. It addresses the very real anxiety children feel when they sense 'something' in the shadows, providing them with a proactive framework for managing those fears through physical empowerment and humor. The story follows a young boy who decides that he has had enough of the monsters lurking in his home. Instead of hiding, he enrolls in a karate class to build his confidence and physical strength. This transition from being a victim of his imagination to a self-assured 'defender' of his room is both empowering and funny. It is ideal for children ages 3 to 7 who need a boost in self-confidence to navigate nighttime jitters.
