"A Heartwarming Story." -- Kirkus Reviews
BOO! Are You Afraid of the Dark?
--Kirkus Reviews
“A child’s mom sets out to help him with his fear of the dark... . Boo is absolutely, definitely not afraid of the dark. His covers may be over his head when his mom comes to tuck him in at bedtime, but he insists that he is brave. She catches on very quickly and decides to turn the tables on him to help him overcome his fears: “You say you are brave, and I know that it’s true. But what if I’m scared, what should I do?” she asks, cowering on Boo’s bed. Time after time, Mom finds something to be afraid of in Boo’s room, moving him to (ease) her concerns while facing his own fears at the same time. The role reversal between Boo and his mom is a simple twist that effectively models social and emotional learning. Once every possibility is exhausted, Mom turns out the light with a sweet declaration that brings the story around full circle. ... A heartwarming story to help children overcome their bedtime fears."
