A sweet and charming bedtime story that has a delightful twist. Like many young children, Mia is afraid of the dark. Despite the efforts of her mother to comfort her and instill courage, every night Mia is unsuccessful in overcoming her fear of the dark. She hastens to her mother's side and reluctantly must admit failure. One night she has a dream that brings her to a strange place and presents her with a new challenge. The way she overcomes that challenge will prove to her that she does indeed possess strength and courage after all.The short read written in verse flows well and is accompanied by large, colorful artwork which assists the child in understanding story sequence. The book is targeted for children age three through eight. Younger children may not be able to follow all the verse but will delight in the pictures. Certainly a valuable book to assist parents who have children with night-time terrors.
