THIS BOOK MAY HAVE SAVED MY MARRIAGE!
“Wow! This book is incredible. My daughter asked me all kinds of questions all the way through it and all sorts of things came up. She told me she is scared of monsters like Teddy and that she saw them on TV. After reading the book for a week, she told me she wants to be a big girl and sleep alone like Teddy. She asked me for a stuffed animal (like Teddy has!) and she has been falling asleep completely ALONE (with the stuffed animal), door closed, for two nights!!!!!!!! (Usually takes me an hour rubbing her back)!!! I might have to thank you for saving my marriage of this continues!!! Thank you sooo much for writing it. Now I need to share it with others! I especially like the tips at the end, what a GREAT idea.”
—A reader on Amazon.com
The text is reassuring and written in a calming manner that would be perfect for parents to read to their children anytime they may be frightened. It also gives ideas throughout the story about different activities the child can do when they are scared such as drawing pictures, building castles and most importantly offering reassurances that parents will always do their very best to protect them from frightening things.
