Description: Emily is frightened about going to bed in her own room. She shares with her parents a variety of different fears, including a fear of the dark, a fear of monsters and a fear of someone breaking into the home. Her mother explains to her that she need not be afraid; and she describes to Emily a strategy that will help her fall asleep on her own. Emily is eventually successful at putting herself to sleep at bedtime.
This book contains both a picture book as well as a detailed guide for parents that explains a strategy that they can used to put frightened children to bed at night. It is recommended that the parent read both the children’s book and the parent guide before sharing the book with their child.
