We have all been there (some of still are), that small little child scared by the shadows on the walls late at night after the lights have been turned off. Our imagination takes control and we start to see scary monsters, aliens and bad guys every where.
This little book helps put kids at ease and show them how to take control of the situation by turning the scary things into not so scary things. The back of the book even includes some shadow puppet instruction just for fun.
So if you or someone you love is afraid of the dark get a flashlight and this book, then have some fun.
