Bedtime arrives and with it come the worries that make sleep feel impossible. In these three illustrated stories, young children face the familiar anxieties that creep in when the lights go out. Dark corners seem threatening. Strange sounds echo through the house. Dreams might turn frightening. But each tale guides its young protagonists through these nighttime fears toward comfort and calm. The children discover ways to transform scary thoughts into pleasant ones. They learn that bedtime can become a time of wonderful dreams rather than frightening moments. Through gentle storytelling, fear gives way to cheer as each child finds their path to restful sleep.
