Reviews:
“This darling book will help parents everywhere soothe
children who have nighttime fears. Coping with strange shadows and
dealing with loud thunderstorms… fears alleviated by logical and whimsical
reasoning… all combine to produce a charming bedtime book for children. What a
wonderful addition to the world of children’s books!”
--Sherrill S Cannon, Award-Winning Children’s Author
“These adorable stories address
children's nighttime fears. My 4 year old and I had fun imagining how the
shadows and noises in her own room could be understood. She thought the idea of
the wind tickling the branches of the trees was hilarious. We enjoyed a good
laugh together and I am sure any fear she had of the shadows and noises
produced by the wind in the trees has been put to rest. Linda teaches how our
imaginations can quiet our fears of nighttime noises.” --Cheryl Larson
