A young child discovers his inner superhero and learns to fight the monsters at night in this engrossing bedtime story by Davis.
The little protagonist is scared of bedtime. Why? Because there are scary monsters who come to visit once the night approaches. The only way to fight the monsters is to awaken the superhero within.
Davis serves up engrossing rhyme, and her simple, straightforward narrative adheres to young children’s sense of logic as her little protagonist discovers his inner power and finally becomes brave enough to scare the monsters away.
Rekha Salin’s pretty, brightly colored illustrations are a visual treat with their dreamlike, descriptive quality. This endearing story both soothes and posits that any child can become brave—all they need is a reminder that they have a super hero in them.
Impressive in its illustrations and text, this book will easily capture the attention of the very young.

A brave and calming children's book
Love this book for little ones who may be afraid to go to sleep at night, for fear of something coming to get them. I encourage rhyming for little ones as it helps them with their literacy. This author surely knows how to calm a child when afraid. Thank you Kathleen Davis for this inspiring book.

Superhero siblings
A lovely story where a sibling duo work together to face their fears. Night time can be scary for little ones, but not when they realise they have superhero powers (and parents who watch over them.)

Heartwarming bedtime story!
Such a sweet read for those kiddos that have the nighttime worry bug. It’s very important that kids know how powerful they truly are to overcome their ready-for-bed fears. The ending was just perfect without giving it away. A fun bedtime ritual that will ease those separate anxieties!
