“Kids are usually so afraid of me that I try to hide myself in the closets. But when the sun goes down, I naturally come out there and serve my role of helping all the living creatures on Earth fall asleep and relax. It makes me so sad that you are afraid of me, little girl.”
About the book
'The Little Girl & The Darkness'
This story "The Little Girl and The Darkness" was inspired by my little daughter, who used to be afraid of the darkness and struggled to sleep on her own. Regardless of many reassurances and cuddles, she would eventually find her way to mommy’s bed in the middle of the night, filled with fear of the darkness and monsters hovering in the closets. This experience prompted me to tap into my visual storytelling abilities, using words and illustrations to show her that darkness is really nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, darkness can be a comforting presence that takes care of your rest and well-being. Thus, the story with its colourful pictures was born, initially drawn with a simple pencil on paper. To my surprise, this little tale was so loved by my children that they urged me to share it with others. I sincerely hope that this bedtime story, with its naïve illustrations, will bring comfort and reassurance to your children as well.
